Answer 1

$\huge \underline \bold \red {AnSwer :-}$

• ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency in living organisms. It is produced at the end of respiration and is produced in the mitochondria.
• It is produced during photosynthesis in the leaves (in chloroplast) in autotrophic nutrition. The released energy is utilized by the cells in making the chemical adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in a process of cellular respiration.
• Since energy is released during the process, it is an exothermic type of reaction.
• The cells break down the glucose to its original elements, which are carbon dioxide and water.
