Question

What do we call the process whereby water is added when a phosphate is removed from ATP to make it ADP?

Answer 1

The actual power source that the cell uses is the phosphate tail of ATP. The bonds that connect the phosphates contain the available energy, which is released when those bonds are broken by adding a water molecule—a process known as hydrolysis).

A cell can be considered a little, clamoring town. Transporter proteins move substances into and out of the cell, engine proteins convey cargoes along microtubule tracks, and metabolic catalysts hectically split down and develop macromolecules.

These processes will continue happily if there is energy available to power them—much like business will continue to operate in a town as long as money is coming in—even if they would not be energetically favorable (energy-releasing, or exergonic) in isolation. However, the cell will begin to die if the energy runs out, halting the reactions.

Vivaciously ominous responses are "paid for" by connected, vigorously positive responses that discharge energy. The "payment" reaction frequently involves a single small molecule: ATP, or adenosine triphosphate.
