CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is an immediately available source of energy for a cell
A
respiration
B
ADP
C
ATP
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: H+ movement is the immediate source of energy for rebuilding ATP. Protons flow from the intramembrane space of the mitochondria to the mitochondrial matrix through the ATP synthase enzyme and catalyse its production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instead, the body uses the energy released from breaking down glucose, to drive phosphorylation of ADP. This makes ATP, which is an immediate energy source that cells can use quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -The immediate source of energy for most cells is glucose. But glucose is not the only fuel on which cells depend. Other carbohydrates, fats and proteins may in certain cells or at certain times be used as a source of ATP.
