Answer: ATP

Explanation:

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is a molecules which is considered as a main source of potential energy which is required by the cell for metabolism. The ATP molecule releases energy when phosphodiester bonds are broken in this process ATP is converted into ADP.

The molecules of ATP are produced by oxidative reactions occurring in the cytoplasm and mitochondria in which the process of cellular respiration takes place.

ATP. The potential energy is stored in the high-energy phosphate bonds due to the negative charges of each phosphate repulsing each other. Cells break the phosphate-phosphate bonds when they use ATP, so the released energy is used to do kinetic work.

In multiple sclerosis, identify the part of a neuron that typically hardens and disrupts the flow of information through neurons

Bumek [7]

The neuron that will most likely cause disruption in the flow of information in the brain which undergoes through the neurons is the myelin. If this hardens, this will likely disturb the person's flow of information in the brain and this usually happens when a person has multiple sclerosis.
