In Living Substances, the Hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and P

question 12

Essay

In living substances, the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and P is virtually the sole supply of energy. However, ATP does not release this energy spontaneously but only in cell machinery where some work is being carried out. In such cases, special enzymes (ATPases) are necessary for the hydrolysis of ATP. How does the universality of ATP and the diversity of enzyme systems relate to the unity and diversity of life through evolution?
