102
Q

How is ATP created

A

The last phosphate ripped off and creates energy

Phosphates are negatively charged; therefore, when together through a covalent bond they try to escape, and when they do through hydrolysis reaction the last phosphate is ripped off and a big energy burst happens. Or, energy can be stored through dehydration reaction and is forced back onto
