| Questionshelp,
Thanks for trying to help me. I just googled Penn Foster and now know that it is a distance learning company. So I guess this loop question comes from one of PF's tests and you are providing the answers. Are the many people posting the question all trying to pass the test so they can get academic credit and an online degree? Do you work for PF?
My own interest has nothing to do with distance learning or Penn Foster. That is, I am not trying to pass any test. I am instead suggesting that the answer "Information" is wrong even if Penn Foster thinks it is right. I am asking you (or someone) to explain how information can be the right answer to this question. The process of making energy-rich molecules such as ATP and NADH is not an information rich system (like copying or transcribing DNA or RNA, for example).
This question seems to be about the transformation of the chemical energy in glucose sugar into a form that's easier for cells to use, namely ATP. The energy in ATP is instantly available for virtually any chemical reaction. It's like cash. Whereas the energy in glucose is more like a T-bill. Save and reliable, but not very good for just buying a bag of groceries. Why does Penn and Foster thing that energy transformation is about information?
Best,
