Question

Which of the following statements is false about ATP hydrolysis?

(a) It is highly exergonic

(b) Activation energy is relatively high

(c) ∆G^‘°=-30.5kJ/mol

(d) ∆G^‘°=30.5kJ/mol

I got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Phosphoryl Group Transfers and ATP topic in chapter Principles of Bioenergetics and Glycolysis of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) ∆G^‘°=30.5kJ/mol

To explain: ∆G^‘° should be negative for an exergonic process.
