Question

Write equations for the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP. Use abbreviations such as ATP for adenosine triphosphate and P, to represent inorganic phosphate. hydrolysis of ATP: — hydrolysis of ADP:

Answer 1

Hydrolysis of ATP :-

ATP + H2O -----> ADP + Pi + 30.5 kJ/mol

Adinosine triphosphate (ATP) is hydrolysed to Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and Inorganic phosphate (Pi) with liberation of 30.5 kJ / mol of energy . It is an exothermic reaction .

ATP means adenesine triphosphate. g contain 3 bhosphate groups and adenosine molecule The equation will be : ATP + HO ADP + Pit free energy ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) on hydrolysis give ADPC Adenosine diphosphate), phosphate group and free energy of - 30.5 KJ/mole Adenosine diphosphate ge Hydrolysis of ADP + HO AMP + Pi + 30.5 kJ/mol DO Hydrolysis of ADP results into formation of Adenosine monophosphate and inorganic phosphate group, free energy of 30.6 kJ/mole.

Hydrolysis of ADP:-

ADP + H2O ----> AMP + Pi + 30.5 kj/mol

Hydrolysis of Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) results in formation of Adenosine mono-phosphate (AMP) + inorganic phosphate (Pi) and librate energy equal to 30.5 kJ/mol . It is also an exothermic reaction.
