I know for a fact that D is true, but I thought A and B were as well - clarification please!??
Choose the reason(s) why ATP is used as the primary source of cellular energy: Check all that apply.
A. ATP has the highest phosphoryl group transfer potential out of all of the phosphorylated compounds in the cell. |
||
B. The concentration of ATP in cells is fairly high, making the actual free energy of hydrolysis very negative. |
||
C. ATP hydrolysis results in products that are at a lower energy state than the substrate, thus making it a highly exergonic reaction. |
||
D. ATP is kinetically stable. |

ATP has evolved as the energy currency because of following facts: 1) availability in cell, 1) Stability of molecule, 3) energy content of the molecule.
