Question

level 1 q2 what is the energy molecule that is made during cellular respiration? a. adp b. nad+ c. atp d. fad

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a molecule that can accept energy to become ATP, but it's not the main energy - carrying molecule produced in cellular respiration.
• Option B: NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an electron carrier in cellular respiration, not the energy molecule we are looking for.
• Option C: ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy - carrying molecule that is synthesized during cellular respiration. The structure in the diagram (with adenosine, ribose, and three phosphate groups) also corresponds to ATP, and the energy associated with the phosphate bonds (a little bit, some, and a lot of energy) is characteristic of ATP.
• Option D: FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) is also an electron carrier in cellular respiration, not the main energy - producing molecule.

Answer:

C. ATP
