A
ATP in small stepwise units
B
ATP in one large oxidation reaction
C
Sugars
D
Nucleic acids
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Glycolysis, the Kreb's cycle, and the electron transport system all yield ATP which is the main energy currency of the cell. During oxidation of respiratory substrates within a cell, the energy contained in them is released in a series of show stepwise reactions controlled by respiratory enzymes.
