The hydrolysis of a thioester is accompanied by the formation of a high energy phosphate compound except citrate synthase. How is the energy released used in the cycle?

Step 1
In the citric acid cycle, the hydrolysis of a thioester occurs when succinyl-CoA is converted to succinate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme succinyl-CoA synthetase. Show more…

Hydrolysis of “high energy” bonds releases energy that can be used to drive endergonic reactions. This is called a “coupled reaction,” and it is the basis by which biology undertakes anabolic reactions. The ATP phosphoanhydride is a high energy bond, compared with the ADP and phosphate that form after it is hydrolyzed. Why? Give as many reasons as you know of.
