Answer:

D is false

Step-by-step explanation:

D is false because after breaking down 1 glucose, around 36-38 ATP will be produced from ADP

A is true because cells use ATP for work

B is true, as breaking glucose makes ATP, which is just stored energy

C is true too, since ATP is an ADP connected to a phosphate. This bond contains energy and detaching the phosphate will power parts of the cell, for instance active transport systems.
