The Most Abundant High-Energy Compound in Cells Is

Question

The most abundant high-energy compound in cells is
A) DNA.
B) adenosine diphosphate.
C) adenosine monophosphate.
D) adenosine triphosphate.
E) RNA.

Accepted Answer

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most abundant high-energy compound in cells. It is involved in various cellular processes such as energy transfer, muscle contraction, and enzyme reactions. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that are not primarily involved in energy transfer. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) are important in ATP synthesis and degradation, but they are not as abundant as ATP itself.
