Which carbon based molecule is LEAST likely to be broken down to make ATP?
|
|
carbohydrates
|
|
|
sugars
|
|
|
lipids
|
|
|
proteins
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are least likely to be broken down to make ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is Adenosine Triphosphate. It is formed by the breakdown of complex molecules like Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins in the process of cellular respiration of the mitochondria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are not used in the synthesis of ATP because they are required for carrying out several cell activities, and they also play a major function in maintaining the structure of the cell. If these proteins are broken down, the structure and functions of the cells might be lost.
