A paramecium uses ATP continuously to beat cilia for locomotion. How does ATP serve the paramecium as a renewable resource?

AATP is transported continuously through cellular respiration.
BATP is regenerated continuously by the addition of phosphate to ADP.
CATP is replenished continuously by the process of hydrolysis.

The correct answer is B) ATP is regenerated continuously by the addition of phosphate to ADP.

This is a common way of making energy for the body and is even found in humans.

Answer : The correct answer is -

B) ATP is regenerated continuously by the addition of phosphate to ADP.

The continuous supply of energy for ciliary movement in Paramecium is maintained by the help of certain kinases such as adenylate kinase, arginine kinase.

These enzymes continuously regenerate ATP by addition of phosphate to the ADP, giving continuous energy supply for locomotion in Paramecium.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.
