Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is a compound that stores and provides the energy required to perform a variety of biochemical processes in living beings.

After being consumed, it losses one or two of its phosphates and becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

It can also act as a coenzyme and be a precursor to DNA and ARN because it is a nucleic acid.

Each molecule of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, formed by an adenine (a nitrogenous base), a ribose (a sugar), and triphosphate.

This means the correct answer is A) nucleic acid

Which statements describe functions of antibodies? Select two options.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A.They maintain the cell’s shape.

B.They regulate cell processes.

C.They protect the body from infectious agents.

D.They signal the immune system to destroy pathogens.

E.They speed up biochemical reactions.

F.They send electrical signals.

The correct answers are C and D.

Explanation:

B cells and T cells use different biological weapons to attack the pathogen. The first secrete proteins called antibodies, which are distributed via the blood or the exposed surfaces to the environment, such as mucous. Antibodies are glycoproteins that circulate in the bloodstream looking for antigens that cause some type of damage to the body. Antibodies recognize and neutralize pathogens in a highly efficient way. Once the antibodies are produced, they remain circulating in the bloodstream for several months, which generates immunity for a long period of time to a certain antigen, in other words, they are capable of recognizing other molecules (antigens) in a very specific way and forming stable complexes with them (immune complexes). Its appearance in plasma is part of the adaptive immune response, in what is known as a specific humoral response, constituting a very effective defense against pathogens.

A student used the hemoglobin data to conclude that mice and shrews are more closely related than are mice and humans or shrews
Lilit [14]
<span>The student who use the hemoglobin data to conclude that mice and shrews are more closely related than mice and humans or shrew and human is quite correct. Scientists had found a way of determining the evolution histroy of animals by means of the amino acid sequence of their hemoglobin. The higher the number of related amino acids found the closer the relationship between the two organisms. There are a difference of 29 amino acid between man and mouse and a difference of 24 amino acids between human and shrew but only a difference of 5 amino acid between mouse and shrew. This shows that mouse and shrew are closer.</span>
