What results from the removal of a phosphate group from atp?
question 12 options:

the production of mechanical energy

the release of energy

the creation of energy

the absorption of energy by chlorophyll

The correct answer is the release of energy.

Explanation:

ATP or Adenosine tri phosphate is an energy rich compound .ATP contain 3 phosphate group joined by two high energy phosphoanhydride linkage.

   The hydrolysis of ATP releases the terminal phosphate group or the gamma phosphate group resulting in the formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate(Pi).

 The breakdown of 1 molecule of ATP releases -30.5kj energy which is used to our body to carry out different process such as membrane transport,muscle contraction,biosynthesis of macromolecules.
