Answer:

ATP hydrolysis

Explanation:

ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic process whereby an Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule is broken down by the addition of water to form ADP, inorganic phosphate (Pi) and a release of energy. ATP is an high energy storing molecule in living cells. The stored energy is released when it undergoes hydrolysis.

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + energy

From the above reaction, energy once stored in ATP is now available for use. This reaction is hence, called HYDROLYSIS because it involves break down of ATP with the aid of water molecule.

Aloiza [94]

Direct consequences of cumulative post-industrial emissions of carbon dioxide include increasing global temperature. The oceans absorb 22 million tons of carbon dioxide every day. When the oceans absorb CO2, the chemical reaction that takes place produces carbonic acid (H2CO3), which increases the acidity (lowers the pH) of seawater. So, the balance is ruined.
