Why is ATP considered an exceptionally useful energy source for all cells?

Why is ATP considered an exceptionally useful energy source for all cells?

• ATP can only release energy, not store it.

• ATP cannot release energy by breaking bonds between its phosphate groups.

• ATP can easily release and store energy by breaking and re-forming the bonds between its phosphate groups.

• ATP is not useful to cells.

What is the main difference between ATP and ADP as mentioned in the text?

• ATP has more energy than ADP

• ADP has more phosphate groups than ATP

• ATP is not rechargeable while ADP is

• ADP powers the machinery of the cell while ATP does not

How can a cell store energy according to the text?

• By removing phosphate groups from ATP

• By adding phosphate groups to ADP, producing ATP

• By converting ADP into a non-rechargeable form

• By breaking down ATP into ADP without phosphate groups

How do cells release the energy stored in ATP?

• By creating new bonds between phosphate groups

• By breaking the bonds between the second and third phosphate groups

• By absorbing more energy from the surroundings

• By converting ATP into glucose
