MCQ
The energy-rich compound produced through respiration is
- AADP
- BPyruvic acid
- CAMP
- ✓ATP
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
ATP
(d) ATP
Explanation: In cellular respiration, an organism oxidizes glucose (i.e., combines it with oxygen) so as to form the energy-rich compound known as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP, critical to metabolism (the breakdown of nutrients to provide energy or form new material), is the compound used by cells to carry out most of their ordinary functions. Among those functions are the production of new cell parts and chemicals, the movement of compounds through cells and the body as a whole, and growth.
