  1. Question 1

    Q1. Breaking the terminal phosphate bond of ATP releases 7.3 kcal/mol of energy. What is the resulting molecule after this single phosphate group is removed?

    • A) Adenosine monophosphate
    • B) Adenosine diphosphate
    • C) Adenine
    • D) Ribose-5-phosphate

    Answer: Adenosine diphosphate
