Question

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of a cell. All of the following statements regarding ATP are true expect one. Select the exception.
A)ATP is used to lower the activation energy in enzymatic reactions.
B)The splitting of the third phosphate from ATP to produce ADP and P; releases energy used to support an animal's metabolism.
C)ATP is a nucleotide similar in structure to the nucleotides that comprise DNA.
D) ATP is formed when ADP is phosphorylated using energy derived from molecules an animal consumes in its diet.

Answer 1

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a cell's energy currency. All of the following statements about ATP are true, except ATP is used to lower activation energy in enzymatic reactions.

• A) ATP is used to lower the activation energy in enzymatic reactions.

How does ATP affect enzyme activity?

Enzymes allow chemical reactions to proceed with activation energy provided by the catabolism of ATP. When cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, they use 2 molecules of ATP as activation energy and gain 36 to 38 molecules of ATP in return. Without enzymes, this would not be possible.
