Which of the following is not a true statement about atp? a. used atp is discarded by the cell as waste. b. atp consists of ribose, adenine and phosphate. c. adp forms when atp releases energy. d. atp provides energy for the mechanical functions of cells.

Answer;

C. Used ATP is discarded by the cell as waste.

Explanation;

-ATP is produced during cellular respiration, a process which involves the breakdown of glucose to generate energy in the form of ATP.

-During cellular respiration chemical energy in glucose is converted to ATP which can be used by the cells to drive cellular processes. ATP is a molecule that consist of ribose sugar, adenine, and 3 phosphates. Energy stored in ATP is released by breaking the phosphate bond to form ADP.
