Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP is a molecule used for energy by cells, and its presence indicates that the cell has enough energy available. Therefore, it signals for the synthesis of energy storage molecules such as glycogen and triglycerides. Choice A and D are incorrect because elevated ATP does not directly stimulate their synthesis. Choice B is incorrect because ATP is not involved in the synthesis of triglycerides and proteins simultaneously.
