What happens when ATP is converted to ADP?

Question

a
Energy is stored in bonds.
b
Energy remains in the same.
c
Energy is released from bonds.
d
The cell dies.

Answer 1

When ATP is converted to ADP, the correct answer is:

c) Energy is released from bonds.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) contains high-energy phosphate bonds, and when it is hydrolyzed to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi), energy is released. This energy is used by the cell for various biochemical processes.
