Question

Energy is converted from one form to another in cells. What role does ATP play in this process?


Cells use ATP to harvest energy from sunlight.


Cells convert energy stored in ATP into nutrients.


Cells convert energy stored in ATP into kinetic energy.


Cells use ATP to produce nutrients such as glucose.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cells convert energy stored in ATP into kinetic energy. - third choice

Answer 2

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The energy that is stored in ATP can be used to derive the various processes of the body.

The third bond in the ATP is loosely bonded with the molecules which is broken down to allow more stronger bonds to form and provide energy for the cellular processes.

Through the process of cellular respiration the bonds are broken releasing the potential energy of the molecules in the form of kinetic energy that is used by the cells to do work.
