Question

Starch and ATP can both be described as molecules that store energy. Compare and contrast starch and ATP in terms of storing energy and supplying energy for a cell’s work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Starch molecules provide long-term energy storage that can be released by chemical reactions in a cell. The released energy can be used to reform ATP molecules which can then be used to provide energy that can be used by cells in everyday functions.  ATP only stores energy for a short period of time while starch stores it for a longer period of time.
