Example Question #11 : Cellular Energetics
What is the primary energy currency for cells?
Possible Answers:
oxygen
ATP
carbohydrate
GTP
Correct answer:
ATP
Explanation:
ATP is the primary energy currency for cells. The phosphoanhydride bonds of ATP, or the bonds between phosphate molecules, are high energy. This is due to the close proximity of positively charged phosphate and negatively charged oxygen; these charges repel. Also, there is resonance stabilization of the products of ATP hydrolysis (ADP and Pi); thus ADP is more stable than ATP. Carbohydrates are broken down during glycolysis to produce ATP.
