Which statement best describes the purpose of atp?

a. it uses dna and rna to make proteins
b. it make glucose out of sunlight and water
c. it releases energy that is used by cells
d. it breaks down into carbohydrates and lipids

C. It releases energy that is used by cells.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate is a complex chemical molecule it provides energy to conduct various processes occurring in the living cells like nerve impulse generation, muscle contraction, and chemical synthesis. It is called as the molecular unit of currency.

It forms in the process of cellular respiration in which the glucose is oxidized and break down so as to produce energy in the form of ATP. The ATP is a biomolecule which is formed by the purine base (adenine) and sugar molecule (ribose) along with three phosphate groups.

The ATP hydrolysis is an exothermic reaction which releases energy that can be used by the cell for cellular metabolism.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
