Question

The father of ATP cycle is
A)White
B)Lipmann
C)Pasteur
D)Buchner

Answer 1

He is an American biochemist and he had provided Nobel Prize in 1953 for the physiology or medicine for the discovery of coenzyme A. Adenosine triphosphate, or also termed as ATP, is a complex and relatively basic compound.

Complete answer:
ATP can be observed as the main energy currency of cells, just as money is the main economic currency of human societies. The energy that is generated by ATP hydrolysis (breakdown) is used to produce many energy-requiring cellular reactions. ATP is used to generate tiny packets of energy from the cell's food-fired power plants and transports the energy to where it is needed and essential. Any energy in ATP is produced for operation, for example as shifting muscles or pushing a seedling out of the earth.

At all times, ATP is used to give its energy to a non-spontaneous synthetic reaction, for example the formation of sucrose. ATP is required to fill the energy difference between energy-requiring reactions and energy-releasing reactions.

Now let us allow to find solution from given options:
White : He researched plant cell culture.
Lipmann : Karl Lohmann told out ATP. Fritz Lipmann (1941) told about its functionality through the creation and hydrolysis of a high-energy phosphate bond. Lipmann is termed to be the 'father of the ATP cycle'.
Pasteur : He did bottleneck experiments and gave major contributions in the study of evolution. Pasteur is regarded as the father of microbiology.
Buchner : He provided us with yeast extract and told us that no living yeast fungi can form alcohol.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: Structurally, ATP is termed to be as an RNA nucleotide that holds a sequence of three phosphates. Five carbon sugar, ribose, which is attached to the nitrogen base adenine and to the chain of three phosphates, present at the middle of the molecule.
