• D. Adenosine diphosphate

Answer 1

The correct option is A Adenosine triphosphate

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell which produces and stores energy in the form of ATP. ATP or adenosine triphosphate, a complex molecule that contains the nucleoside adenosine linked to three phosphates. ATP is used by all the organism as their primary source of energy. Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecules in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups.
