Question

In cellular respiration, energy is trapped in the form of ATP, which is used for cellular work, and acts as a “currency” for energy transfers within a cell. Which everyday item functions in a way similar to ATP?

Answer 1

Answer:

Everyday item that works like ATP is rechargeable battery.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can be described as an energy molecule which is used by every cell in the body to carry out its functions. The energy is stored in the bond present between the second and third phosphate atom of this molecule. When ATP is broken, the bond between the second and third phosphate breaks and hence, energy is yield. Just like ATP, a rechargeable battery stores energy in it and it is used whenever we require it.
