The hydrolysis of ATP releases approximately

  • A

    -7.3 kJ/mol (or -30.5 kJ/mol under standard biological conditions)

    check_circle
  • B

    -2.5 kJ/mol (or -10.0 kJ/mol under standard biological conditions)

  • C

    +7.3 kJ/mol (or +30.5 kJ/mol under standard biological conditions)

  • D

    -100 kJ/mol (or -250 kJ/mol under standard biological conditions)

Explanation

Standard ΔG° for ATP hydrolysis is around -30.5 kJ/mol; under cellular conditions even more negative.
