Answer:

A molecule containing readily 'detachable' phosphate group, an inorganic phosphate, and ADP.

Explanation:

For substrate-level phosphorylation, take glycolysis as an example. Phosphoenolpyruvate has a readily 'detachable phosphate', which with the help of Pyruvate Kinase, is able to be 'attached' to ADP. Both Phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP act as substrates.

For oxidative phosphorylation, take ATP synthase as an example. Due to the proton motive force, the 'motor' of the enzyme allows the knob to spin, changing affinities for ADP, Pi (inorganic phosphate), and ATP. Thus, to produce ATP, ADP and Pi are required as substrates.

In all, a molecule containing readily 'detachable' phosphate group, an inorganic phosphate, and ADP can serve as substrates for ATP production.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Heterotrophic species that eat organisms from different trophic levels

Explanation:

Humans are examples of primary and secondary consumers because we are able to eat different types of living forms, thereby acting in the food chain as primary consumers (eating plants) in certain conditions and as secondary consumers (eating animals) in different conditions. Many heterotrophic organisms act at different levels by feeding primary producers and primary consumers based on specific trophic strategies. In consequence, the classification between primary and secondary consumers is arbitrary since it varies according to the trophic strategy adopted by the organism.

The process of Independent assortment refers to the orientation of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I

Independent assortment is a law, which is also known as Mendel's second law. It states that when two or more traits are inherited, different hereditary factors assort individually throughout gamete production, and this gives individual traits equal chance of occurring together.
