Energy is released from ATP when?

Question

Biology help! Please!

Answer 1

It is not the breaking of the phosphate bond in ATP that releases energy. In fact, more energy is created by the new bonds that H2O creates when it ATTACKS the phosphate bond.  In addition, energy is released in the form of extra chaos (entropy): where there WAS one molecule, now there are two (ADP and Pi)

 

 

Answer 2

ATP is broken down into ADP and an inorganic phosphate through hydrolysis.  This releases free energy (a catabolic, exothermic reaction) to do work.  Energy release from ATP is used to power the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis, active transport across the cell membrane, and the majority of cellular processes.

Answer 3

The brief answer is during photosynthesis in plants.
