Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the purpose of ATP in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
A
To breakdown glucose to release energy
B
To work as an enzyme
C
To absorb electrons from water
D
To provide energy for cell processes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP is used for all the processes that occur within a cell that need energy. reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products.

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Detailed explanation-3: -ATP can be used to store energy for future reactions or be withdrawn to pay for reactions when energy is required by the cell. Animals store the energy obtained from the breakdown of food as ATP. Likewise, plants capture and store the energy they derive from light during photosynthesis in ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration stores ATP, while photosynthesis releases ATP. Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen. Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
