<h3>What is ATP?</h3>

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy coin of the cell, this molecule is used in many cellular processes.

The hydrolysis of high-energy phosphate bonds in ATP is used by cells to carry out different metabolic processes.

During muscle contraction, ATP binding causes the myosin head to disconnect from actin.

Polio drops are not given to children suffering from diarrhoea. Why?​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

In diarrhea, gut motility is increased. Whatever is ingested, comes out quicker.

Polio drops contain attenuated polio virus. Once given, a large proportion of this viral dose stays in intestine and proliferates to show it’s effect.

If given during diarrhea, with increased motility of gut, most of it will be thrown out fast, resulting in to lesser efficacy. For this very reason we wait till diarrhea is over.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vacuoles are much larger in plant cells than in animal cells because they hold more water to stay upright

Plant cells have cell walls to provide a stronger external structure and animal cells do not.

An atom has a proton mass of 35, a neutron mass of 35, and an electron mass of 3. What is the estimated mass of the atom? 
Helga [31]

The mass of an atom (its atomic mass) depends upon the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons present in the nucleus.

The answer is therefore B. 70 (35 protons + 35 neutrons)

Electrons do have SOME mass but it is almost 2000 times less than the mass of a proton. Therefore the electrons mass is insignificant as there aren’t enough electrons to affect the total mass in any stones we know about.
