Energy stored in ATP is released when _____?
ATP is converted into ADP
Energy stored in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is released when the bond between the second and third phosphate group is broken by hydrolysis. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme called ATPase. The hydrolysis of the bond releases one phosphate group and ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). The released energy is used by the cell to perform various functions, such as muscle contraction, cellular respiration, active transport, and biochemical synthesis. The energy released from ATP is in the form of chemical energy that can be easily used by the cell to perform various functions.
