Question

When adenosine triphosphate (ATP) releases the energy it carries, it typically breaks apart into _____.

A.adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP).


B.adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate


C.carbon dioxide, water, and ammonia


D.adenine, ribose, and inorganic phosphates

Answer 1

I believe the answer is B.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B, that is, adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate.

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP or adenosine triphosphate refers to a composite organic chemical, which offers energy to mediate various procedures in living cells, like nerve impulse propagation, contraction of muscle, and chemical synthesis. ATP is usually considered as the molecular unit of currency of intracellular energy transfer as it is found in all the forms of life. When ATP releases the energy it carries, then it generally gets dissociated into ADP and inorganic phosphate.
