Question

ATP and photovoltaic cells are similar because

A. they are both key components of plant cells.
B. they both produce chemical and electrical energy.
C. they are both key components of solar panels.
D. they both use energy from the sun to separate electrons from atoms.

Answer 1

D. They both use energy from the sun to separate electrons from atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the light-dependent reactions, energy absorbed by sunlight is stored by two types of energy-carrier molecules: ATP and NADPH.

Photovoltaic systems use the photons produced by sunlight to generate direct current (DC) electricity. When the photons hit the panel they are absorbed by the panel's semiconducting silicon material.
