Why do cells use fat and starch for long-term energy storage instead of ATP molecules? (4 points) A- ATP is used for long-term storage, while fat and starch are used for immediate energy. B- ATP is used for short-term energy and to build molecules of starch and fat. C- Fat and starch are unstable and can be stored short-term, while ATP molecules are stable and stored long-term. D- Fat and starch are stable if used as energy immediately, while ATP is used as long-term storage.

ok so this relates to the last question

kenzie126:

i think its A

bigboybilly:

ding ding ding|dw:1605274566960:dw|

bigboybilly:

i am kidding

bigboybilly:

It is hard to break down fat in a short amount of time, but it is very easy to breakdown ATP in a short amount of time. ATP is short-term, while fat is long-term. ... The ATP will be used to power the cells various functions.

bigboybilly:

So B is the answer

Answer: ATP is used for immediate energy and short-term storage, while starch molecules are stable and can be stored for a long time. Explanation: Starch and ATP can both be described as molecules that store energy. ATP is used for immediate energy and short-term storage, while starch molecules are stable and can be stored for a long time. ATP is known as an energy medium for a reason does changes into energy. In this process starch does have to pass through various steps and series to convert into energy. Plants use starch for a very important purpose which is to store glucose.

Rekik:

Because ATP can be broken down in a short period but fat break down slowly

Rekik:

Then i think its B

Safiullah:

Point B
