Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes that catalyze endergonic reactions are likely to bind to ATP ,short for Adenosine Triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate is the high-energy molecule that stores energy.

In cells, The hydrolysis of ATP provides the energy needed for an endergonic reaction which requires this energy to be acquired from the surroundings.

Enzymes that catalyze endergonic reactions are likely to bind to ATP.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Endergonic reactions are mostly exothermic reactions in which the products are in a higher energy state than that of the reactants, such reactions requires an extra supply of energy Thereby the enzymes that catalyse the reaction bind to ATP for energy .

In body's metabolism these endergonic reactions are considered to be anabolic. The metabolic reactions of the body are divided into anabolic and catabolic reactions, that is the building up and breaking down reactions.
