Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Phosphagens are high energy storage compounds that are usually found in the tissue of animals.

Based on the question, the molecules have similar functions in different organisms such as the fact that they can accept phosphoryl groups from ATP in a situation where the ATP is in excess. Also, they donate phosphoryl groups to ADP in order for the regeneration of ATP.
