Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ATP or energy molecules carry the energy to what type of reaction?
A
catabolic
B
hypertonic
C
anabolic
D
exergonic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Energy is transferred within the cell and the organism by ATP; anabolic reactions consume it, and catabolic reactions generate it. Every cellular chemical reaction is mediated by a specific enzyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -Formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate is an anabolic reaction. Whereas, ATP hydrolysis is a catabolic process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Key Points. Catabolism is the process of transforming chemical fuels such as glucose into ATP (energy). Anabolism, the process of cell differentiation and growth, requires energy (ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is an energy carrier molecule that supplies energy to many different cellular processes. It couples anabolic and catabolic reactions by capturing energy released from catabolic reactions, then supplying this energy to power anabolic reactions.
