What happens when ATP is converted to ADP

Question

A. Energy is stored in bonds
B. The cell dies
C. Energy remains in the same
D. Energy is released from bonds

Answer 1

When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), energy is released from the bonds. Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. Energy is released from bonds.

This process occurs when the high-energy phosphate bond in ATP is broken, releasing energy that the cell can use for various biological processes.
