Question

Which of the following does NOT help to explain why a large amount of free energy is released when 
 ATP is hydrolysed to ADP and orthophosphate (P i )?

Answer

The triphosphate unit of ATP has a number of resonance forms, which can lead to the energetically 
 unfavourable juxtaposition of two positive charges.

Answer

ADP and orthophosphate (P i ) are stabilized by hydration

Answer

ATP has a low phosphoryl transfer potential.

Answer

The negative charges within the triphosphate unit of ATP give rise to electrostatic repulsion.
