Question

Which of the following is not true?

A) ATP is formed during glycolysis
B) ATP contains less potential energy than ADP
C) Plant cells generate ATP during cellular respiration
D) ATP is used as a mobile energy carrier molecule by all cells

Answer 1

B: ATP contains less potential energy than ADP

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have studied and learnt alot about ATP as a potential molecule that provides us with energy. It can fulfill our energy requirements upon dissociation because it has three phosphate bonds. When these phosphate binds are broken they release enormous amount of energy, 7.3 kj/mol.

However, if we talk about ADP, it has two phosphate bonds and it holds less amount of energy as compared to ADP.

All other options are definitely true and that is why this is the only one that is incorrect.

Hope it help!
