Which of the following can combine in a cell to convert a lower-energy molecule into a higher-energy molecule? ADP + P + energy
ATP + P + energy
ADP + P
ATP + P

The reaction that converts a lower-energy molecule into a higher-energy molecule is ADP + P + energy.

Explanation:

ATP is the molecule that provides energy to the cell. It possesses three phosphate groups, each of which is bound by high-energy bonds and the separation of a phosphate by hydrolysis of ATP is strongly exergonic. The energy released is used by the cell to perform its functions.

In order to form an ATP molecule, ADP is required to bind to a phosphate group, a process that requires energy to establish the P-O-P bond, so the reaction, which is reversible, would be:

                                 ATP + H₂O ⇄ ADP + Pi + ↑energy

This is what allows to convert a lower-energy molecule into a higher-energy molecule and permits an ATP molecule to become the energy exchanger of living organisms.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

the question isn't complete here so i can't right an answer '_'
