8 which statement about atp is false the hydrolysis of atp...

'8. Which statement about ATP is FALSE? The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and P is an exergonic reaction_ The phosphate bond energy of ATP may be transformed into light energy_ ATP drives exergonic reactions using energy derived from endergonic reactions: The synthesis of ATP is an endergonic reaction. ATP can donate a phosphate group to many different molecules_'

00:01 So in this question, we are looking at the role of atp.

00:05 So i have drawn out down below just a very classic image of our atp molecule.

00:16 So obviously we are going to have our three phosphates over here.

00:21 And these three phosphates are going to be the very important part of all.

00:30 Atp reactions.

00:32 So that's the part we're going to be focusing on when we are answering these questions.

00:37 And that is due to the fact that in between these phosphate connections, we are going to have high energy bonds.

00:54 So keeping that in mind, i'm just going to go through our answer choices.

00:58 So the first one states that the hydrolysis of atp to edp is an exergonautic.

01:05 Reaction.

01:07 And another helpful aspect to help us answer this question is going to be knowing what an ex -organic reaction is going to be and an endergonic.

01:22 So ex -organic reactions are going to release energy.

01:32 They're usually based around the process of hydrolysis or catabolism.

01:37 And these reactions are going to occur spontaneously.

01:41 And that is due to the fact that they do not require any sort of energy for the reaction to happen.

01:49 Compared to endargonic reactions, these are going to absorb energy.

02:00 So in other words, atp is going to be required...
