ATP is the required to power the Na+-K+ pump, which is also necessary for maintaining osmotic balance. The pump was requires for the ATP hydrolysis to drive its pumping the cycle. So, in the absence of the ATP production, the Na+ concentration that inside the cell will also increase. This is followed by the passive diffusion of the water across the membrane, causing the cell to be swell.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of the energy for the use and the storage at the cellular level. The structure of the ATP is a nucleoside and triphosphate, consisting of the nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and the three serially bonded of phosphate groups.

Viruses _____.

Montano1993 [528]

viruses are tiny bundles of genetic material which is carried in a viral coat.

Explanation:

The virus is generally a parasite that needs a host to become active and to reproduce. It cannot reproduce without the host.
The tiny bundle consists of genetic material and protein. The virus consists of capsid and nucleic acid. This capsid is said to be the protein coat.
This capsid consists of either RNA or DNA. virus replicate themself within the host body by using its genetic material along with the mechanism of the host.
Thus after replicating the virus need to get out of host cell, It is performed by two types budding or lysis( bursting the host cell ).
