Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the statement that is false about ATP is a. It cannot be produced without the presence of oxygen. This is false because ATP can in fact be produced in the absence of oxygen. For example, ATP is produced during glycolysis which can occur in the absence of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The word triphosphate indicates that the molecule has 3 phosphate groups. ATP stores energy within the bonds between phosphate groups, especially the second and third. This bond is a source of potential chemical energy, and it’s kind of like a compressed spring.
