Card 5 / 7:
Do you think that the E A for ATP hydrolysis is relatively low or high? Explain your reasoning.
The activation energy for hydrolysis is very low. Not only is ATP hydrolysis an exergonic process with a large −∆G, but ATP is also a very unstable molecule that rapidly breaks down into ADP + P i if not utilized quickly. This suggests a very low E A since it hydrolyzes so quickly.
