Energy liberated during respiration is stored as
A. ATP
B. ADP
C. FAD
D. NADP

Explanation

Solution

Hint:- In the body various metabolism occur, and during this metabolic process, some of the
energy is released, whereas In respiration energy is released outside, and this energy is called as
exothermic energy, where a form of energy is stored which Is useful for various functions in the body.

Complete step-by-step solution:- ATP is an organic compound where they provide energy to the various functions in the cells such as muscle contractions, nerve impulse propagation which is found in all known forms of the life and this ATP is generally referred to as the Molecular unit of currency of the living cell. And most of the energy liberated during the respiration is stored in the form of ATP
2. ATP consists of adenine which is attached to a 9-Nitrogen atom and also 1’ carbon atom of sugar and it is also attached to the 5’ carbon of the sugar atom to the triphosphate group.
3. In many metabolic reactions, adenine and sugar groups remain the same but the conversion of triphosphate to diphosphate and monophosphate which forms the ADP and AMP respectively.
4. For each phosphoryl group, they are referred to as alpha, beta and for the terminal one, it is called gamma.
ATP is stable in an aqueous solution, where the PH is in the range of 6.8 to 7.4.
2. In the case of extreme PH, t ATP hydrolysis to ADP and the phosphate.
3. In the living cells, the ratio of ATP to ADP is maintained in such a manner where ATP
concentration is 5 times higher than the ADP concentration.
4. The bonds present in these molecules are P-O-P which are high energy bonds.
5. The energy released by one ATP molecule on hydrolysis is 35.5kilo joule/mole.
6. The release of energy is by either cleavage at phosphate or pyrophosphate.
So the correct option is adenosine triphosphate.

Note:-
In the living cells, the dephosphorylation of ATP and rephosphorylation of ADP and AMP occur in a repeated manner, and they also produce in many cellular processes such as glycolysis, and citric acid and beta-oxidation, cellular respiration, which produces 30 equivalent of ATP from each molecule of glucose.
