Energy that is usable by a cell is called ____
A
ATP
B
ASAP
C
AVP
D
JYU
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: -Explanation: ATP, also known as Adenosine Triphosphate is a usable form of energy. ATP is also formed by various processes in plants and animals. ATP collects energy from the food-burning power plants of the cell and transports it to the parts of the body where it is needed.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is made via a process called cellular respiration that occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Mitochondria are tiny subunits within a cell that specialize in extracting energy from the foods we eat and converting it into ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP is able to power cellular processes by transferring a phosphate group to another molecule (a process called phosphorylation). This transfer is carried out by special enzymes that couple the release of energy from ATP to cellular activities that require energy.
