## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the statement that is NOT true about ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It is the main product of cellular respiration, the process that cells use to generate energy.## Step 2The first statement is "When ATP releases energy, ADP is formed". This is true. When ATP releases energy, it becomes ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).## Step 3The second statement is "Used ATP is discarded by the cell as waste". This is not true. ATP is not discarded as waste. Instead, it is recycled. After ATP releases energy and becomes ADP, it can be converted back to ATP through a process called cellular respiration.## Step 4The third statement is "ATP consists of adenine, ribose, and phosphate". This is true. ATP is composed of an adenine molecule, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.## Step 5The fourth statement is "ATP provides energy for cells to carry out its functions". This is also true. ATP provides the energy needed for many cellular processes.
