possible points 11.11
the table describes three molecules important in the production and transfer of energy in living things. correctly identify each molecule.
low - energy molecule
high - energy molecule
energy - transfer molecule
adp atp inorganic phosphate nucleotide ribose

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine - triphosphate) is a high - energy molecule that stores and transfers energy in cells. ADP (adenosine - diphosphate) is a low - energy molecule. When a phosphate group is added to ADP, ATP is formed, and when ATP loses a phosphate group, ADP is formed. Inorganic phosphate is released or used in these reactions. ATP is also the main energy - transfer molecule in cells.

Answer:

low - energy molecule: ADP
high - energy molecule: ATP
energy - transfer molecule: ATP
