Question

Why ATP is converted into ADP?

Answer 1

ATP is converted into ADP because:

1. When ATP, the cell's energy currency, is hydrolyzed to generate ADP and inorganic phosphate, energy is released.
2. It occurs when high-energy phosphate bonds in the terminal locations break down.
3. The cell needs energy to perform other functions.
4. The enzyme ATP synthase is typically present in mitochondria. It's found in plant cells' chloroplasts.
