b. atp has more potential energy, adp cannot store as much as atp because it only has 2 phosphate groups while atp has 3

The correct answer for the question is B, ATP contains less potential energy than ADP.

Step-by-step explanation;
ATP contains more energy potential than ADP , since it has three phosphate bonds unlike ADP which has 2 phosphates.
A. is true; During glycolysis ATP is formed, Glycolysis uses 2 ATP molecules and also generates four ATP molecules which gives a net energy of 2 ATP molecules.
C is true, as plant cells generate ATP during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process in which cells generate energy in form of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.
D. is true; ATP is used as a mobile energy carrier molecule by all cells. It used by these cells to fuel all cellular activities.
