Maximum energy is liberated by hydrolysis of ?: (A) Creatine phosphate, (B) ATP, (C) Phosphoenol pyruvate, (D) Glucose-6-phosphate
Answer is C. A compound that liberates 7 Kcal/n:ol or more on hydrolysis is called high energy compound, or a compound that on hydrolysis undergoes a large (. 7 kcal/mol) decrease in free energy (AG) under standard condition is called high energy compound, i.e., AG - 7 Kcal/mol.
