Question

provided above is a chemical reaction that involves rather intimidating and complicated looking molecules but if you take your time to look carefully, you will see that it is simpler than it looks, most of the molecule doesnt change at all.
the reactions is known as atp hydrolysis. the large molecule on the left is atp (adenosine triphosphate). it reacts with water (h₂o) to make adp (adenosine diphosphate) and a phosphate ion. this seemly overly complicated reaction is actually critical to life. this is the reaction that nature, including you, use to liberate the energy needed to run the chemical reactions of life.
roughly 10 - 20 atp hydrolysis reactions occur every day in your body to keep you alive!
is atp hydrolysis exothermic or endothermic?
○ exothermic
○ endothermic
○ dont test me yet, i am trying to gain an understanding before attempting to answer this question.

Explanation:

ATP hydrolysis releases energy. Exothermic reactions release energy, while endothermic reactions absorb energy. Since ATP hydrolysis releases energy, it is exothermic.

Answer:

exothermic
