Source sentences:
text: ATP is stable in aqueous solutions between pH 6.8 and 7.4, in the absence of catalysts.
text: ATP is not high energy and is unstable?
text: If it weren't for water, ATP would be a reasonably stable molecule, and would provide a source of energy for nothing.
text: ATP is highly soluble in water and is quite stable in solutions between pH 6.8 and 7.4, but is rapidly hydrolysed at extreme pH.
text: ATP is highly soluble in water and is quite stable in solutions between pH 6.8–7.4, but is rapidly hydrolysed at extreme pH, consequently ATP is best stored as an anhydrous salt.
text: Since ATP is so stable, it stays in a cell until it's ready to be used and then releases energy to trigger a chemical reaction.
text: I am also not completely sure about the way this statement is written, although it is true that ATP is somewhat unstable (it is important to understand that everything is relative) and tends to be hydrolysed in water, it is exactly its stability (perhaps compared with other similar energetic molecules) that define its utility as an energy token.
text: ATP is unstable in water, and forms ADP when in water; this formation releases energy and is an additional source of energy in cells (the process of converting ATP to ADP to release energy in cells is known as hydrolysis)
