Question

The energy stored in one molecule of NADPH and one molecule of ATP are ....... and ...... respectively.

• A. 52 kcal, 7 kcal
• B. 520 kcal, 70 kcal
• C. 150 kcal, 22 kcal
• D. 650 kcal, 90 kcal

Answer 1

The correct option is A 52 kcal, 7 kcal

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is abbreviated as NADP, is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require NADPH as a reducing agent. It produces 52 kCal of energy from one molecule. Adenosine triphosphate used in cells as a energy currency, often called the molecular unit of currency of intracellular energy transfer. ATP is therefore continuously recycled in organisms: the human body, which on average contains only 250 grams of ATP. One molecule of ATP produces 7kCal of energy.
