A. ATP can be hydrolyzed in ADP and phosphate via an exergonic, or downhill, reaction.
B. The energy that is released by ATP hydrolysis is used in order to drive other reactions in the cell, ,which are endergonic. Such reactions tend to be part of the anabolic pathways.
C. The energy released by the ATP hydrolysis is used in order to make new ATP.
D. ATP is regenerated when ADP and Phosphate are combined by a dehydration reaction. This reaction is endergonic, or uphill, so it needs to absorb free energy.
E. The energy the needs to be absorbed for ATP regeneration is provided by other reactions in the cell, which are exergonic. Such reactions tend to be part of catabolic pathways.
 
C. is false. ATP is generated through catabolism of food (glucose, fats, proteins). ATP cannot create more ATP, as that would defy all of the wonderful principles of science that govern the world.
