Answer & explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule made up of <u>one adenosine molecule</u> and <u>three phosphate radicals</u> (P) capable of storing small amounts of energy (from the breakdown of food) in their chemical bonds, acting as a temporary energy container.

ATP is directly linked to cell metabolic processes such as cellular respiration and photosynthesis. When cells need energy, for the sodium-potassium pump, for example, the ATP molecule breaks down.

This breakdown is made by hydrolysis (ATP breaks using water), so the bond between the phosphate group 2 and the phosphate group 3 breaks down, leaving one Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) molecule, which has two phosphate radicals.

At the end of the process the energy that kept the phosphate groups bound is released and used in processes such as <u>stretching and shortening of muscle fibers</u>, nerve impulses and hormonal regulation. These processes utilize the active energy released by ATP hydrolysis.

ATP - ADP conversion is the fundamental way to get energy because the cell cannot use the glucose molecule directly.

Is the lumen of an artery, capillary or vein, large or small? Why?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Arteries have thick walls composed of three distinct layers (tunica) Veins have thin walls but typically have wider lumen (lumen size may vary depending on specific artery or vein) Capillaries are very small and will not be easily detected under the same magnification as arteries and veins.

How would not having enough water molecules affect the light-dependent reaction in photosynthesis?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water combine to form glucose (the plant’s energy). When there is not enough water, the plant cannot produce any glucose, even if there is light and carbon dioxide

Urgently! <br> Give reasons <br> Fruits vegetables and grains should be washed thoroughly
-BARSIC- [3]

“It is not always possible to find or buy organic fruits and vegetables in today's conditions. In order to purify pesticide residues in foods, the first thing that is usually done at home is to put these foods in vinegar water. However, vinegar water is not effective in reducing pesticide residues, but in reducing the microorganism burden. Studies have done that vinegar water increases the effectiveness of pesticide residues even more. The main purpose of adding vinegar to the washing water is to create an acidic washing environment and to remove the potentially harmful biological factors that can be found on the food in case of inadequate washing. However, many of the pesticides commonly used today cannot be removed from the food due to insufficient washing and are taken into thBe body. This causes pesticides to continue their harmful effects for long periods of time.

Increased pressure from the brain and CSF on the optic nerve causes papilledema. The nerve swells as a result of the pressure as it enters the eyeball at the optic disc.

<h3>What causes papilledema most frequently?</h3>

The most frequent causes of papilledema without IIH were cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, intracranial tumor, and intracranial hemorrhage.

<h3>What occurs when a person has papilledema?</h3>

The following list of papilledema symptoms is possible: loss of vision or blurred vision The optic nerve, which regulates your vision, is subjected to physical pressure as a result. Blurred vision or visual loss in one or both eyes are common symptoms of optic nerve compression.
