Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ATP is called a cell’s “energy currency” because
A
ATP catalyzes all metabolic reactions.
B
most of the energy that drives metabolism is supplied by ATP.
C
glucose is made of ATP.
D
ATP allows one organelle to be exchanged for another between cells.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP is the energy currency of the cell because it is the most preferred energy molecule in the cell. Its preference is due to the following factors: It donates its phosphoryl groups to release energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is called a cell’s “energy currency” because ATP catalyzes all metabolic reactions. most of the energy that drives metabolism is supplied by ATP. glucose is made of ATP. ATP allows one organelle to be exchanged for another between cells.
