Question

which statement best explains how the structure of atp helps provide energy to the cell?
○ atp contains energy in the chemical bonds between adenine and ribose
○ atp production requires energy
○ atp contains energy in the chemical bonds between its phosphate groups
○ atp is recycled inside the cell

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine - triphosphate) has high - energy phosphate bonds. When these bonds are broken during hydrolysis, energy is released for the cell's use. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds between its phosphate groups.

Answer:

C. ATP contains energy in the chemical bonds between its phosphate groups
