2. The hydrolysis of ATP is the cell’s most commonly used
exergonic reaction when performing energy coupling. Explain energy
coupling, why it is necessary, and how the hydrolysis of ATP fits
into the process. Use vocabulary words such as “endergonic,”
“exergonic,” “spontaneous,” and “nonspontaneous.” (8 points)
Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles.
However, they are able to make ATP and survive.
Assuming that bacteria cannot use their membranes to make ATP,
which process can they still use in order...
