- Sometimes, ATP is referred to as the “energy-storage molecule.” The cell does not actually store energy as a lot of extra ATP but as glycogen or triacylglycerides. Why do you suppose this is the case?arrow_forwarddescribe ATParrow_forwardIf you added a protonophore (a substance that makes membranes leaky for protons) to mitochondria, what would happen to the amount of ATP produced? a) More ATP because a leaky inner membrane will allow more protons to diffuse across the membrane. b) More ATP because a leaky outer membrane will allow more protons to diffuse across the membrane. c) Less ATP since protons must accumulate in the inner membrane space in order to produce ATP. d) Less ATP since electrons must accumulate in the inner membrane space in order to produce ATP. e) No change in ATP production would occurarrow_forward
