Cells Capture a Portion of Nutrient Energy in the High-Energy

Question

Cells capture a portion of nutrient energy in the high-energy phosphate bonds of:
A)​ADP
B)ATP
C)phosphatase
D)glucose
E)​amino acids

Accepted Answer

ATP is the molecule that cells use to store and transport energy. When cells break down nutrients like glucose, they capture a portion of the energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds in ATP. This energy can be used for various cellular functions such as muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and nerve signaling.
