Question

what is the fate of the phosphate group that is removed when atp is converted to adp? it is acquired by a reactant in an endergonic reaction. it is used to convert an atp into an aqp. it is acquired by a reactant in a spontaneous reaction. it is broken down into one phosphorus and four oxygen atoms. it is acquired by a reactant in an exergonic reaction.

Explanation:

ATP hydrolysis releases energy when converted to ADP and a phosphate group. The energy - rich phosphate group is often transferred to a reactant in an endergonic reaction to drive that reaction forward. Endergonic reactions require energy input, and the phosphate transfer from ATP provides this energy.

Answer:

It is acquired by a reactant in an endergonic reaction.
