Ireland Coffey · Answer 1

C. ATP carries electron with high energy is from one molecule to another.

Explanation:

In all living organisms, Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) molecule plays an important role in carrying and storing energy in cells. It is referred as energy currency of cells. They can store as well as pay energy for reactions when required by the cells. It is made of adenine base with ribose and three phosphate groups.

The phosphate groups are linked by bonds which produce high energy while breaking down. Energy is released in each process of conversion from ATP to ADP and ADP to AMP. The final product ADP can again be converted into ATP and it is a cyclic process.
