How does ATP facilitate energetic coupling? The hydrolysis of ATP reduces the activation energy necessary to synthesize the final molecule of a reaction The hydrolysis of ATP increases the potential energy of the molecule that gets phosphorylated The hydrolysis of ATP decreases the Gibbs Free Energy necessary for the final reaction to occur The hydrolysis of ATP makes the first step of energetic coupling endergonic

How does ATP supply energy to chemical reactions? a. ATP dissociates and the energy released by breaking of a phosphate bond within ATP is used for phosphorylation of another molecule. ATP hydrolysis also provides energy to power coupling reactions. b. ATP utilizes energy to power exergonic reactions by hydrolysis of ATP molecule. The free energy released as a result of ATP breakdown is used to carry out metabolism of products. c. ATP utilizes energy to power endergonicreactions by dehydration of ATP molecule. The free energy released as a result of ATP breakdown is used to carry out metabolism of products. d. ATP utilizes the energy released from the coupling reactions and that energy is used to power the endergonic and exergonic reactions.
