Question

Name the energy currency in the living organisms. When and where is it produced ?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The energy currency in living organisms is called “ATP(Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)”.
• ATP is produced in living cells during cellular respiration. 2 ATP is produced in the cytoplasm of the cell when glucose breaks down to ethanol and carbon dioxide in the absence of oxygen. 38 ATP is produced in the mitochondria of the cell when glucose breaks into water and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.
