Although ATP is the main energy carrier in living organisms, other molecules may also serve as energy carriers in metabolic reactions. Which of the following molecules does NOT carry energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose is a source of energy but does not directly carry energy in the same way as GTP, phosphoenolpyruvate, and creatine phosphate, which have high-energy phosphate bonds that can be readily hydrolyzed to release energy. Similarly, nucleotides such as GTP, CTP, and UDP also have high-energy phosphate bonds and can serve as energy carriers.
