The Molecule Made by Mitochondria That Provides the Power to the Cell

Question

The molecule made by mitochondria that provides the power to the cell is ________.
A)ATP
B)RNA
C)ADP
D)DNA

Accepted Answer

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the molecule made by mitochondria that provides energy to the cell. It is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell. RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are involved in genetic material and are not directly related to energy production. ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is a related molecule to ATP but has one less phosphate and therefore contains less energy.
