A water molecule is added to an atp molecule to break atp down into adp and a phosphate group. write the chemical equation for this reaction.

Respuesta :

ATP + H2O ----->  ADP + Inorganic Phosphate + 7.3 Kcal mole/ATP energy

See the pic. for better visual.

On adding H2O, atp break down into adp and a phosphate group. The reaction is exothermic
