Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When ATP is hydrolyzed, the reaction produces ADP, phosphate ions (Pi), and a free energy of -7.3 kcal/mol. Pyrophosphate (PPi) may also be produced, but it is rapidly hydrolyzed to two molecules of Pi by pyrophosphatase enzyme. Water is not produced in the hydrolysis reaction, it is used in the reaction to break down the high-energy bond between the phosphate groups. Therefore, the correct answer is E, "water."
