ATP hydrolysis provides energy for cellular reactions or uses the released phosphate to phosphorylate substances, increasing their reactivity or altering their shape.
The hydrolysis of ATP provides energy for cellular reactions and processes, or it releases inorganic phosphate to phosphorylate other substances, making them more reactive or changing their shape.
| Front | Give two ways in which the hydrolysis of ATP is used in cells. [2 marks] |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. To provide energy for other reactions/named process; 2. To add phosphate to other substances and make them more reactive/change their shape; |
