Which of the following is the most correct interpretation of the figure?
Pi acts as a shuttle molecule to move energy from ATP to ADP. |
ATP is a molecule that acts as an intermediary to store chemical energy for cellular work. |
Energy from catabolism can be used directly for performing cellular work. |
ADP + Pi are a set of molecules that store energy for catabolism. |
Catabolism is an oxidative process where larger molecules are broken down to smaller molecule and it is exergonic in nature. Example of catabolic process includes glycolysis, kreb cycle etc. Where ATP is produced. This ATP can be stored as energy currency in cell or can be used when necessay. So it acts as intermediary molecule. So the correct answer is option B.
