Question

ASAP Why is ATP used as an active energy source over glucose? A. It is more abundant in food sources. B. It releases its energy quickly in a single reaction. C. It releases its energy slowly through multiple reactions, allowing it to last longer. D. It has more energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Glucose is an organic molecule that stores ATP or energy while Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy-carrying molecule.

ATP used as an active energy source over glucose because ATP is a shorter process and releases energy in a single reaction as glucose first converted into ATP and then used as energy in cellular respiration.

Hence, the correct option is "B".
