Question

mark all that apply: which of the following statements are true?

it is stored and used for long term energy.

atp can be recharged like a battery.

the energy stored in atp is used quickly.

atp can only be used once.

adp can be re - energized by adding back a phosphate group.

Explanation:

• ATP is not for long - term energy storage (that's for lipids like fats).
• ATP can be converted to ADP (releases energy) and then ADP can be re - energized to ATP by adding a phosphate group (like recharging a battery).
• The energy in ATP is used quickly as it is the immediate energy source for cells.
• ATP is not used only once as it can be regenerated.

Answer:

ATP can be recharged like a battery.
The energy stored in ATP is used quickly.
ADP can be re - energized by adding back a phosphate group.
