The energy stored in ATP is converted to mechanical energy that moves organelles around within the cell.This is an example of __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Energy transduction is the conversion of energy from one form to another. In this case, the chemical energy stored in ATP is converted into mechanical energy to move organelles around within the cell. Options A and B, exothermic and endothermic respectively, refer to the release or absorption of heat, which is not relevant to this process. Polymerization (option D) refers to the process of linking monomers together to form polymers and is not relevant here. Catheterization (option E) is a medical procedure that involves inserting a catheter into a body cavity or vessel and is not relevant to this process.
