Question
NASA’s Kepler mission found evidence of several potentially habitable exoplanets, raising the possibility that life may have evolved independently outside of our solar system. If NASA found a novel lifeform, we would expect it to use energy molecules based on similar principles as lifeforms on Earth. The organism would likely use molecules with _____________ bonds. It might use two separate molecules, one serving as a rapidly utilizable energy currency and another molecule serving as long-term energy storage A.high energy B.low energy C.hydrogen D.electrostatic
Explanation / Answer
High energy bonds stores energy that is necessary to make the work done. Any living organism likely uses molecules having high energy bonds for its survival.
Hence, the correct option is (A) High energy bonds.
