What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?
What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?
- Serving as a structural component for cell membranes
- Storing genetic information for cellular processes
- Providing energy for both energy-consuming endergonic reactions and energy-releasing exergonic reactions (correct)
- Facilitating cell communication and signaling
Why is ATP compared to a rechargeable battery for cellular processes?
Why is ATP compared to a rechargeable battery for cellular processes?
- It is only used in specific types of cells
- It does not require activation energy to release energy
- Its bonds are easily broken and reformed, releasing energy for cellular work (correct)
- It has a fixed energy capacity that cannot be replenished
Why does ATP contain a high amount of potential energy?
Why does ATP contain a high amount of potential energy?
- Because it is produced in large quantities within cells
- Because it is primarily involved in energy storage
- Due to the presence of multiple chemical bonds (correct)
- As a result of its role in DNA replication
