Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do all cells use as energy?
A
Carbs
B
Protein
C
Fat
D
ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The only form of energy that cells can use is adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP is a high-energy molecule containing three phosphate groups. It stores chemical energy in the bonds that hold it together. The third phosphate group of ATP is attached to the other two phosphate groups with a very high energy bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, all cells use ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP molecules are the main energy source of all cells and are used for most cellular processes including active transport, DNA and RNA synthesis, nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and structural maintenance among others.
