Question

which statements characterize, or describe, atp? check all that apply. atps energy is locked up between phosphate bonds. atp is used only by heterotrophs because autotrophs make their own energy. atp provides energy for cell division (healing a cut). atp stands for adenosine triphosphate. done

Explanation:

• ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores energy in its phosphate bonds. When these bonds are broken (e.g., ATP → ADP + Pi), energy is released.
• Both autotrophs (e.g., plants) and heterotrophs (e.g., animals) use ATP as the energy - currency of the cell. Autotrophs make ATP during processes like photosynthesis.
• ATP provides energy for various cellular processes including cell division (which is involved in healing a cut as new cells are formed).
• The full form of ATP is adenosine triphosphate.

Answer:

• ATP’s energy is locked up between phosphate bonds.
• ATP provides energy for cell division (healing a cut).
• ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate.
