Which of the following statements are true?  Check all that apply.
A)ATP is a high-energy phosphate compound
B)Enzymes are changed during the chemical reactions they catalyze
C)ATP can be broken down to ADP to release energy for cells to use
D)ATP can be formed from ADP through phosphorylation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) ATP is composed of three phosphate groups and has a high potential energy due to the repulsion of the negative charges on the phosphates. This energy can be released during hydrolysis to drive cellular processes.
B) Enzymes themselves remain unchanged at the end of the reaction and can be used over and over again unless denatured or degraded.
C) ADP (adenosine diphosphate) can be hydrolyzed by breaking a phosphate bond, releasing energy that cells can use for various processes.
D) ADP can be phosphorylated by the addition of a phosphate group to form ATP through either substrate-level phosphorylation or oxidative phosphorylation.
