Energy is released from atp when?
a. every phosphate bond is broken.
b. the last phosphate bond is broken.
c. all three phosphate bonds are formed.
d. the last phosphate bond is formed.

Answer;

A. every phosphate bond is broken.

Explanation;

-The ATP molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule.

-When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Similarly, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive
