Question

3. Which phrase best describes the function of the ATP molecule?

1. Carries energy

2. Destroy energy

3. absorbs energy

4. none of the above

Answer 1

1.) Carries energy

Explanation:

A good summary of an ATP molecule is a molecule that transfers energy between cells... meaning it carries energy from cell to cell. Furthermore, energy cannot be destroyed, and cannot be absorbed, only changed and transformed. This leaves us with two options, (1. Carries energy, and 4. None of the above). Since we already have a basic understanding of what an ATP molecule does, we can confidently determine that the correct answer is that an ATP molecule can best be described as carrying energy.
