What enables ATP to drive endergonic reactions?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the role of ATP in driving endergonic reactions and what specific mechanism of ATP enables this process. It presents multiple choice options to choose from, indicating that we need to analyze how ATP functions in biochemical reactions.
Answer
ATP releases energy via hydrolysis to drive endergonic reactions by phosphorylating a substrate.
ATP drives endergonic reactions by releasing energy through hydrolysis, which phosphorylates a substrate, making the reaction feasible.
Answer for screen readers
ATP drives endergonic reactions by releasing energy through hydrolysis, which phosphorylates a substrate, making the reaction feasible.
More Information
ATP's hydrolysis releases energy, which is essential for coupling with endergonic reactions to make them energetically favorable.
Tips
Ensure understanding of ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation processes.
