What is the high-energy molecule that is one of the end products of the digestion (breakdown) of carbohydrates.
a
protein
b
ADP
c
ATP
d
glucose
c
ATP
The high-energy molecule that is one of the end products of the digestion (breakdown) of carbohydrates is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
The high-energy molecule that is one of the end products of the digestion (breakdown) of carbohydrates is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). To arrive at this answer, we can go through the process of carbohydrate digestion.
Carbohydrates are broken down into simpler forms such as glucose through the process of digestion. Once glucose is produced, it undergoes further chemical reactions in cells, specifically in the mitochondria, to produce ATP. ATP is the primary energy currency of cells, storing and transferring energy for various cellular processes.
So, option c, ATP, is the correct answer.
