Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which carbon-based molecule is most commonly broken down to make ATP?
A
proteins
B
carbohydrates
C
lipids
D
nucleic acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Organisms break down carbon-based molecules to produce ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which are most often broken down to make ATP? carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP. The food that you eat doesn’t contain ATP that your cells use, first they must be digested.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is the carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis. Energy-rich glucose is delivered through your blood to each of your cells. ATP is the usable form of energy for your cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -In general, the main energy source for cellular metabolism is glucose, which is catabolized in the three subsequent processes-glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA or Krebs cycle), and finally oxidative phosphorylation-to produce ATP.
