Question

High energy bond of ATP are present in between

• A. C-C
• B. C-O
• C. C-N
• D. O-P

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

O-P

ATP is made of three phosphate bonds attached to adenine. Whenever, these bonds are hydrolysed, one of the phosphate bonds (O-P bond) breaks releasing huge amount of energy. This energy is used by every cell to carry out its normal physiological functions. ATP is regenerated in the cell using energy from hydrolysing glucose.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
