ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is often mistakenly thought to be the primary energy source for all cellular processes, but it is actually a carrier of energy rather than the source itself. Additionally, some may believe that ATP can be stored in large quantities, when in reality, cells maintain only a small pool of ATP that is rapidly regenerated. Lastly, while ATP is crucial for muscle contraction, it is not the only molecule involved in energy transfer within cells.
True. In glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules are consumed during the energy investment phase, but a net gain of 2 ATP molecules is produced during the energy payoff phase, resulting in a total net gain of 2 ATP molecules.
That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
No, the region of ATP synthase that catalyzes the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate spans the inner mitochondrial membrane, not the chloroplast membrane. In chloroplasts, ATP synthase is located in the thylakoid membrane and is responsible for generating ATP during photosynthesis.
No, it's not, lysosome only digest unfunctioned organelle, while the ATP is produced by mitochondrion
Yes, ATP is essential for nerve impulse propagation. ATP is used to provide energy for the sodium-potassium pump in neurons, which helps maintain the resting membrane potential and repolarize the cell after an action potential. Without ATP, nerve cells would not be able to generate or conduct nerve impulses effectively.

They both use ATP synthase proteins in ATP production
That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
While 2 net ATP are created in glycolysis, there also is a requirement of 2 ATP initially for glycolysis to take place
