Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these statements is true of ATP?
A
It stores energy as glucose
B
It stores energy for cellular processes
C
It converts sunlight into chemical energy
D
It contains less stored energy than ADP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and its hydrolysis (ATP to ADP + Pi or ADP to AMP + Pi) releases energy that can be used to drive various energy-requiring processes in cells. So, the correct option is ‘True’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The true statement about ATP is: ATP consists of ribose, adenine, and three phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Of the following statements regarding ATP, the one that is true is that ATP releases energy when the phosphate is cleaved to form ADP.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Answer and Explanation: The statement about ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that is correct is e. The cycling between ATP and ADP + Pi provides an energy coupling between catabolic and anabolic pathways. Catabolic pathways of this reaction provide the necessary energy required for the formation of ATP from ADP and Pi.
