Answer:

The correct answer would be It is used to make ATP.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is hydrolysed to produce ADP (adenosine diphosphate), inorganic phosphate, and energy.

ATP + H₂O → ADP + Pi + energy.

The energy released is used by cell for its metabolic activities.

The ADP released is recycled to produce ATP with the help of energy. The reaction is usually catalyzed by ATP synthase located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

It uses the energy produced by the chemiosmosis of protons. The protons are transported down the concentration gradient through the ATP synthase. It generates energy which is used by the ATP synthase to phosphorylate ADP into ATP.

ADP + Pi + energy → ATP + H₂O
