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

Carbon dioxide levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid affect blood pH. This enables the organism to sense a disturbance in

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

C. the medulla oblongata, which is in contact with cerebrospinal fluid, monitors pH and uses this measure to control breathing.

Explanation:

The central chemoreceptors are located near the medulla inside the blood-brain barrier. When CO2 in cerebrospinal fluid increases, pH of the fluid lower (because CO2 becomes hydrated to carbonic acid). Change in pH stimulates the central chemoreceptors to activate respiratory centers which will increase the respiratory rate and depth of breathing.
