Question
Some scientists claim that there is another reason, an enthalpic reason, that the hydrolysis of ATP is exergonic, besides those listed in the textbook. Which of the following is a possible enthalpic reason that ATP hydrolysis is exergonic?
The phosphoanhydride bond is very unreactive.
The phosphoanhydride bond interacts poorly with the aqueous environment compared to the products of hydrolysis.
The phosphoanhydride bond loses entropy when it hydrolyzes.
The phosphoanhydride bond interacts well with the aqueous environment compared to the products of hydrolysis.
Explanation / Answer
Ans:
The phosphoanhydride bond interacts poorly with the aqueous environment compared to the products of hydrolysis.
Ans:
The phosphoanhydride bond interacts poorly with the aqueous environment compared to the products of hydrolysis.
The phosphoanhydride bond interacts poorly with the aqueous environment compared to the products of hydrolysis. This means that energy is released in the reaction.
