Question

select the statements that describe the energy cells use to drive processes.□ animals use atp to generate carbohydrates for quick energy.□ atp and carbohydrates are reservoirs of chemical energy.□ the energy stored in chemical bonds is a form of potential energy.□ plants use the energy in sunlight to power cellular processes when atp is not available.

Explanation:

• Animals break down carbohydrates to produce ATP, not the other - way around for quick energy, so the first statement is incorrect.
• ATP (adenosine - triphosphate) and carbohydrates like glucose are reservoirs of chemical energy. ATP is the immediate energy - currency of the cell, and carbohydrates can be broken down to release energy for ATP production.
• The energy stored in chemical bonds is potential energy as it can be released during chemical reactions.
• Plants use sunlight to produce ATP and carbohydrates during photosynthesis. They don't use sunlight to power cellular processes only when ATP is not available; rather, sunlight is used to make ATP and other energy - rich molecules.

Answer:

• ATP and carbohydrates are reservoirs of chemical energy.
• The energy stored in chemical bonds is a form of potential energy.
