Solution
The correct option is C ATP ATP is an Adenosine triphosphate (ribose sugar, adenine base, and three phosphate groups), where a high energy bond attaches the third phosphate group to the molecule. This bond is highly unstable, and when it is hydrolyzed it releases a substantial amount of free energy (approximately 7 kcal/mole). It is called as energy currency or chemical form of energy produced by the cellular respiration in mitochondria.
