A muscle cell requires energy for contraction. When the terminal phosphate bond of ATP is broken, what is the immediate primary product alongside ADP?
Q1. A muscle cell requires energy for contraction. When the terminal phosphate bond of ATP is broken, what is the immediate primary product alongside ADP?
Answer: Inorganic phosphate
Explanation: Breaking the terminal phosphate bond of ATP releases inorganic phosphate and energy. Pyrophosphate is released during DNA synthesis, not ATP hydrolysis.
