AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding ATP Hydrolysis**: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that stores energy in its phosphate bonds. When ATP is hydrolyzed, it means that it is broken down in a reaction with water, resulting in the release of energy. 2. **Energy Released**: When one molecule of ATP is hydrolyzed, it releases approximately 7.3 kilocalories of energy per mole. This energy is utilized by cells for various biological processes. 3. **Chemical Reaction**: The hydrolysis of ATP can be represented by the following chemical equation: \[ ...
