In cellular respiration, energy is trapped in the form of atp, which is used for cellular work, and acts as a “currency” for energy transfers within a cell. which everyday item functions in a way similar to atp? a. an electric generator, because it produces electrical energy from a fuel the power to run cell processes b. a pump, because it moves molecules from one side of a membrane to another c. a rechargeable battery, because it can store energy and then release it d. an electric motor, because the charge difference spins the atp, which allows for cellular work

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is used as the energy currency of the cell as it provides energy during the metabolic process in the cell.

This provides energy by the breakdown of the ATP molecule which releases ADP which is used again to synthesize new ATP molecules by the input of kinetic energy provided by the flow of protons across the membrane. Therefore this ATP molecule can be reused and recycled thousand of times in a cell.

Since this ATP molecule can be reused and recharged thus ATP acts like a rechargeable battery in the cell and Option-C is the correct answer.

A.an electric generator, because it produces electrical energy from a fuel the power to run cell processes
