Question

Which statement is FALSE about ATP? (A) Its concentration in a particular cell usually fluctuates very little.(B) The concentration of ATP in cells is generally much lower than that of AMP. (C) The intracellular concentration of ATP varies among cell types.(D) Its concentration is maintained in part by adenylate kinase.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option (B) "The concentration of ATP in cells is generally much lower than that of AMP".

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that carries the energy of the cell, allowing it to perform almost every reaction needed to growth, maintain and reproduce. Being an essential molecule in a lot of processes, the amount of ATP in the cell is abundant. The typical intracellular concentration of ATP is around 1–10 mM. While ATP is dephosphorylated during aerobic metabolism to ADP and AMP, usually the concentration of ATP in comparison to ADP and AMP is above 10:1.
