Released kinetic energy by the breakdown of enzymes is stored in bonds of ATP molecules in form of:
(A)- Thermal energy
(B)- Artificial energy
(C)- Hydra energy
(D)- Potential energy

Explanation

Solution

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes which helps in their functions.

Complete Solution :
- The storage of energy, its production and its use as the hub to the economy of the cell as they are to the management resources of the cells. Cells require energy to do all their work, including the synthesis of sugars from CO2C{O_2} (carbon dioxide), synthesis of H2O{H_2}O (water) during photosynthesis, the contraction of muscles, to replicate DNA etc. It is when we consider the energy associated with chemical bonds and chemical reactions inside each cell. However, the concept of work becomes less intuitive for automobile engines and electric power plants.

Now, let's talk about enzymes and their break down processes also about ATP.
- Enzymes are basically non living things. They are special proteins that break large molecules into smaller ones. Different types of enzymes can break down different types of nutrients. There are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysts are used to accelerate chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes act are known as substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different types of molecules which are known as products. Almost all the metabolic processes in the cells need enzyme catalysis in order to occur at a faster rate enough to sustain life.
- ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) can be used to store energy to use in future reactions or to be withdrawn to pay for reactions whenever energy is required for the cells. Animals store the energy obtained from breakdown of foods as ATP. In a similar manner, plants capture and store the energy which they derive from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis inside ATP molecules. Released kinetic energy which is caused by the breakdown of enzymes are stored in bonds of ATP molecules in the form of potential energy. ATP stores energy inside the cells.

Note: Remember that there are two principal forms of energy in terms of cells: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement from the motion of molecules. The second form of energy is known as potential energy or stored energy is important in the study of biological or chemical systems.
