The correct answer is A. The ATP molecule loses a phosphate, becoming ADP.
When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) reacts with water in a process called hydrolysis, it releases energy and converts into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi). This reaction is fundamental for providing energy for various cellular processes.
