Question

the molecule that stores and releases energy in cells is:

dna

atp

glucose

rna

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is known as the energy currency of the cell. When the high - energy phosphate bonds in ATP are broken (by hydrolysis), energy is released. This energy is used for various cellular processes such as muscle contraction, active transport, and biosynthesis. DNA stores genetic information, glucose is a source of energy that needs to be broken down (through processes like glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation) to produce ATP, and RNA is involved in protein synthesis and other genetic processes.

Answer:

ATP
