[Answer] What type of reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an ATP molecule?

Answer: hydrolysis




Most relevant text from all around the web:


What type of reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an ATP molecule? The ATP molecule contains pyrophosphate linkages (bonds formed when two phosphate units are combined together) that release energy when needed. ATP can undergo hydrolysis in two ways: Firstly the removal of terminal phosphate to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate with the reaction: ATP + H 2 O → ADP + P i High-energy phosphate can mean one of two things: • The phosphate-phosphate (macroergic/phosphagen) bonds formed when compounds such as adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are created. High-energy phosphate - Wikipedia High-energy phosphate - Wikipedia High-energy phosphate - Wikipedia ATP hydrolysis - Wikipedia Phosphatases catalyze the hydrolysis of a phosphomonoester removing a phosphate moiety from the substrate. Water is split in the reaction with the -OH group attaching to the phosphate ion and the H+ protonating the hydroxyl group of the other product. The net result of the reaction is the destruction of a phosphomonoester and the creation of both a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group . A phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds . The "bond " involves this linkage C-O-PO 2--O-C. Discussion of phosphodiesters is dominated by their prevalence in DNA and RNA but phosphodiesters occur in other biomolecules e.g. acyl carrier proteins. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the result...
