is a molecule that forms when a phosphate compound splits off from a molecule of _______________, releasing energy that can now do work for the cell. This molecule, when formed due to this removal of a phosphate compound, can be thought of as a "dead battery". It can become "recharged" when the phosphate compound is added back onto this molecule.

Question

______________ is a molecule that forms when a phosphate compound splits off from a molecule of _______________, releasing energy that can now do work for the cell. This molecule, when formed due to this removal of a phosphate compound, can be thought of as a "dead battery". It can become "recharged" when the phosphate compound is added back onto this molecule.

 

Question 1 options:

 

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

 

None of the other answers are correct.

 

Sucrose, glucose

 

Zymase, pyruvate

 

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

 

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), acetaldehyde

 

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

 

Lactate, ethanol

Expert Solution
Step 1

*An organic substance adenosine triphosphate also called as ATP gives energy to a variety of biological functions in living cells like muscular contraction and nerve impulse transmission and chemical synthesis.

*ATP is frequently referred as the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer and is present in almost all the known forms of life.
