Question

ATP hydrolysis _______.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is to ADP and Pi is the most common mechanism for transferring free energy to drive endergonic reactions.

Explanation:

Many endergonic reactions(the free energy change of these reactions are highly positive) proceed in a thermodynamically unfavorable manner.

     To make those reactions thermodynamically favorable,these reactions are coupled with hydrolysis of high energy compound such as hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi.

    As a result the free energy change of those reactions becomes negative which allow those reactions to proceed in a thermodynamically favorable manner.
