What is the type of chemical reaction used to rebuild ADP into ATP?

a) hydrolysis

b) dehydration synthesis

c) rehydration synthesis

B. Dehydration synthesis

Explanation:

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are currencies of energy found in plant and animal cells. They are also nucleotides found in the mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Cellular oxidation in a cycle of enzyme-catalyzed metabolic reactions, known as Carboxylic/Krebs cycle. ATP synthase is a huge molecular complex and has a function of catalysing the addition of a third phosphorous group to form ATP through rehydration synthesis. The reverse of this reaction; production of ADP from ATP is called hydrolysis.
