Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the energy molecule used by all the cells of an organism?
A
DNA
B
RNA
C
ATP
D
protein
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: -adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP plays a critical role in the transport of macromolecules such as proteins and lipids into and out of the cell. The hydrolysis of ATP provides the required energy for active transport mechanisms to carry such molecules across a concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-4: -All living organisms, from bacteria, fungi, spinach and worms to crocodiles and humans, use ATP for energy conversion. Originally, the energy comes from the sun. Plants capture it during photosynthesis and convert it to chemical energy as ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate) is an important molecule found in all living things. Think of it as the “energy currency” of the cell. If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate.
