How is the potential energy stored in ATP released? breaking it down into ADP and inorganic phosphate (stored in the chemical bonds) breaking it down into AMP and inorganic phosphate (stored in the chemical bonds) adding O2 releasing H ions
Added by Brian J.
Step 1
The energy is released when ATP is broken down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). This process is called hydrolysis, as it involves the addition of a water molecule to break the bond between the terminal phosphate group and the rest of Show more…
