ATP generally energizes a cellular process by?

Question

A) releasing heat upon hydrolysis.

B) acting as a catalyst.

C) coupling free energy released by ATP hydrolysis to free energy needed by other reactions.

D) breaking a high-energy bond.

E) binding directly to the substrate(s) of the enzyme.

Answer 1

c

atp hydrolysis allows for bonds to break down and release energy to drive other reactions

Answer 2

I believe it's D. could be A though...

Answer 3

C) coupling free energy released by ATP hydrolysis to free energy

Answer 4

It's definitely C.

The free energy released by ATP is stored in the high energy phosphoanhydride bonds, but this energy does not directly enerzige the cell.
