Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy “currency” of muscles cells is known as
A
adenosine triphosphate
B
adonine triptophan
C
adrenaline threonine
D
adnoidal tryptomyacin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups. ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is known as the energy currency of the cell because all activities inside a living cell need energy which is available in the form of ATP as the immediate source. Adenosine Diphosphate plus terminal phosphate is ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -This molecule can be thought of as the primary energy currency of cells in much the same way that money is the currency that people exchange for things they need. ATP is used to power the majority of energy-requiring cellular reactions.
