The answer is the fourth one: Adenosine triphosphate.

Explanation for each option:

  1. RNA: RNA (ribonucleic acid) is primarily involved in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes. It is not directly responsible for storing and releasing energy for cellular chemical reactions.

  2. Triglycerides: Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. They are used for long-term energy storage, but they are not nucleotides and do not directly release energy for cellular chemical reactions.

  3. DNA: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic blueprint for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. It is not involved in the direct release and storage of energy for cellular chemical reactions.

  4. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): ATP is a nucleotide that serves as the primary energy carrier in cells. It stores and releases energy by breaking and forming its high-energy phosphate bonds, making it essential for cellular chemical reactions.

Summary: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the nucleotide responsible for releasing and storing energy for cellular chemical reactions.

Sandra is conducting her research on her library's database. As she works, she emails herself the full text of the articles she's interested in. Why is this a smart idea? Because Sarah is unsure what parts of the essay she wants to use. Because the works cited page requires that the writer have a hard copy of all sources listed. Because her teacher will likely want to read all of her sources. Because if she just cut and pasted the parts of the essay of interest to her, she might lose track of which words are hers, which could lead to plagiarism.
