Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the energy created by respiration called?
A
ATP
B
TAP
C
PAT
D
TPA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the process of respiration, oxidation of high energy food substances takes place in the cells of the living organisms to produce energy. The energy released in the process is in the form of the chemical substance called ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP. Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use. It is the molecule that provides energy for your cells to perform work, such as moving your muscles as you walk down the street.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through metabolic processes, ATP becomes hydrolyzed into ADP, or further to AMP, and free inorganic phosphate groups. The process of ATP hydrolysis to ADP is energetically favorable, yielding Gibbs-free energy of-7.3 cal/mol.

Detailed explanation-4: -The citric acid cycle produces 36 ATP molecules. So, in aerobic respiration, a total of 38 molecules of ATP are created, with 2 ATP molecules formed outside the mitochondria.
