Answer:

False

Explanation:

Splitting of an ATP molecule into ADP occurs through hydrolysis. It is an exergonic reaction that breaks the phosphate bond of ATP to release terminal phosphate. The energy released during breaking the bond is used to drive other endergonic processes.

However, ATP hydrolysis is independent of the presence of oxygen. This means that splitting of ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate does not require the presence of oxygen.
