ATP

• write down the equation of ATP hydrolysis and resynthesis

  ATP --> ADP + Pi

  ADP + Pi --> ATP
• How are the products from the hydrolysis of ATP useful in reactions

  • the hydrolysis of ATP can be coupled with energy-requiring reactions within cells
  • The inorganic phosphate released during the hydrolysis of ATP can be used to phosphorylate other compounds making them more reactive.
