The Readily Usable Energy Currency of Cells Is

Question

The readily usable energy currency of cells is
A)electricity.
B)the electron transport system.
C)ATP.
D)CTP.
E)the electron transport system AND CTP.

Accepted Answer

The readily usable energy currency of cells is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). It is synthesized during cellular respiration and serves as the primary source of energy for cellular processes. The electron transport system also plays a role in ATP synthesis, but it is not the primary energy currency. CTP (cytidine triphosphate) is involved in nucleic acid synthesis and is not typically used as an energy currency in cells.
