In an organism, energy is stored in the form of
In an organism, energy is stored in the form of
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D ATP
ATP is known as energy currency of the cell and it is a nucleotide formed by combination of adenine as nitrogenous base, ribose sugar and triphosphate. It is found in free cells which breaks to form energy by breaking its high energy phosphate bonds. The high energy phosphate bonds breaks to form ADP and AMP. It is a hydrolysis reaction which occurs at extreme pH. It dephosphorylates to provide energy for metabolic function. When one phosphorous is given out it is known as adenosine diphosphate while when the two phosphorous are lost it forms adenosine monophosphate. The energy is stored in high energy phosphate bonds between two phosphate molecules which is known as phosphoanhydride bond.So, the correct answer is option A.
