4. How does the level of ATP remain constant within a cell? The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP can be summarized with the following equation: ATP + \( \mathrm{H} 2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{ADP}+\mathrm{P} 1 \Delta \mathrm{G}=-30.5 \mathrm{kj} / \mathrm{ol} \) (a) Which chemical bonds in ATP release large amounts of energy when broken? K1 T2 (b) Based on the \( \triangle \mathrm{G} \) value for the reaction; what can you conclude about the nature of the reaction? Explain your answer. \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { K1 } & \text { T1 } & \text { C1 }\end{array} \)

(1)- phosphate bound. When in equilibrium with water, the unstable molecule ATP hydrolyzes to form ADP and inorganic phosphate. The two high-energy phosphate bonds in this molecule are what give it its high energy. Phospho
