B. It releases its energy quickly in a single reaction.
Explanation:
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy carrying molecule in living systems while Glucose is an organic molecule (carbohydrate) that stores a high amount of energy. Glucose is a monosaccharide and the smallest unit of carbohydrate-containing foods we eat. Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds that hold the glucose molecule.
However, during the process of cellular respiration, energy stored in glucose molecule is broken down and transferred to ATP, which stores energy between the phosphate bonds of its molecule. The energy in ATP is released to perform cellular activities when the phosphate bond of the last phosphate molecule is broken.
Although the glucose molecule stores way more energy than ATP molecule, the ATP molecule releases its energy quickly in a single reaction. This makes energy readily available for cellular functions. This property of ATP makes it an active energy source over glucose.
ATP fuels the primary active transport pump for Sodium and Potassium. The pump maintains a positive voltage on the exterior of the cell and negative on the interior.
Answer: Anaphase is a stage during eukaryotic cell division in which the chromosomes are segregated to opposite poles of the cell. The stage before anaphase, metaphase, the chromosomes are pulled to the metaphase plate, in the middle of the cell.
