Answer to Problem 9A
Correct answer :
The correct answer is option (A) ATP.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer :
Option (A) ATP. In both plants and animals adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. On hydrolysis, ATP releases energy. Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
The explanation for the incorrect answer :
Option (B) ADP. The ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates to become ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). It does not store and release energy. Thus, this is an incorrect option.
Option (C) NADP. NADP stands for Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. It is a coenzyme which participates in many
Option (D) NADPH. NADPH is a reduced coenzyme of NADP. It is used to donate electrons and hydrogen to reactions catalyzed by enzymes . Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
