A
Polymers broken down by breaking a chemical bond between 2 molecules using water. ATP can be hydrolysed to form ADP
2
Q

A
Reaction which joins monomers by chemical bonds and eliminates a water molecule. ATP and water produced by condensation reaction between ADP and an inorganic phosphate
3
Q
What’s formed on the hydrolysis of ATP
