Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To identify the compound among ATP and phosphoenolpyruvate that releases more energy upon hydrolysis.
Concept introduction: High-energy compounds are those compounds that release a large amount of energy upon hydrolysis. These compounds consist of highly strained bonds which are responsible for the release of a high amount of energy. The compounds containing a phosphate group are examples of high energy compound.
Free energy on hydrolysis is considered as a parameter for determining the strain in the bonds. Greater the strain in the bond more will be the negative value of free energy on hydrolysis and vice-versa.
(b)
Interpretation: To identify the compound among creatine phosphate and ADP that releases more energy upon hydrolysis.
