Solution

The correct option is C 7.3 k cal
Hydrolysis of one molecule of ATP produces 7.3 K cal. This energy is produced due to breakdown of high-energy phosphate bond in ATP and converting it into ADP. Hence, it is considered as the energy currency of the cell. It is involved in many energy-requiring cellular reactions.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
