Question

Which statement explains how ATP and its phosphate groups are related to the energy that is used in plant processes?

ADP loses a phosphate group to create ATP, which stores energy for making sugars.

ADP gains a phosphate group to create ATP, which stores energy for making sugars.

ADP loses a phosphate group to create ATP; this process instantly releases energy for making sugars.

ADP gains a phosphate group to create ATP; this process results from sugar production.

Answer 1

I believe the correct response would be that ADP gains a phosphate group to create ATP, which stores energy for making sugar.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be ADP gains a phosphate group to create ATP, which stores energy for making sugars.

In light reaction of photosynthesis, ADP is phosphorylated to form ATP which is used in the dark reaction of the photosynthesis in order to fix the carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the sugars or glucose.

A plant cell requires total of 9 ATP molecules and 6 NADPH inn order to fix one molecule of glucose.
