Which of the following molecules has the most highly exergonic hydrolysis,considering that only the highest energy bond is hydrolyzed?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) has the highest energy bond, which is the bond between the phosphorus and the carbon. Hydrolysis of this bond releases a large amount of energy, making the process highly exergonic. The other molecules listed also have high-energy bonds but not as high as PEP. Therefore, PEP has the most highly exergonic hydrolysis.
