Question

What is recycled in ATP cycle?

Answer 1

ATP cycle:

1. The cyclic transformation of ATP to ADP and then back again to ATP is termed as ATP cycle.
2. When the terminal phosphate, from the three phosphate groups in ATP (adenosine triphosphate), is removed, it becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and the energy released is utilised in carrying out any biological function.
3. Approximately 7.3kcal/mol energy is released by the hydrolysis of one ATP molecule.
