Question

part b what type of reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an atp molecule? dehydration decomposition entropic hydrolysis anabolism dehydration synthesis

Explanation:

ATP contains high - energy phosphate bonds. Hydrolysis is the reaction that breaks these bonds, releasing energy. Hydrolysis involves the addition of water to break a bond. Dehydration synthesis is the opposite (removing water to form a bond), anabolism is the building - up of molecules, and entropy is a measure of disorder not a reaction type for bond - breaking in ATP. Dehydration decomposition is not the correct term for this process.

Answer:

C. hydrolysis
