Which of the following statements are true about ATP? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY a ATP is used as an energy source by cells b ATP is produced during cellular respiration c ATP is a product of photosynthesis d ATP is only produced in plant cells e ATP is required for photosynthesis to occur \( \times \) a

ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is like the fuel that powers the cellular machinery of all living organisms! It's produced in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis, so a couple of those statements are on point. Imagine ATP as the currency of energy in cells, ready to be spent on all sorts of biological activities. Did you know that ATP can also be recycled? When ATP is used for energy, it loses one of its phosphate groups and transforms into ADP (adenosine diphosphate). The cell can then regenerate ATP through processes like oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria or through photophosphorylation in chloroplasts, making it a superstar in energy economy!
