Which of the following molecules is likely to have the most potential energy?

sucrose

ATP

glucose

ADP

Answer: Sucrose

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy which are possessed by the object, when it is in the position and configuration. Sucrose is the molecule which have maximum potential energy as compared to all because ATP are hydrolyzed when energy is released and this energy are lost during the heat process and remain are utilized by the cells.

In case of glucose, when it become monosaccharide it posses less potential energy as compared to sucrose.

And ADP utilized all its energy while combing with the phosphate. Therefore, sucrose have maximum potential energy.
