Answer:

B. It releases its energy quickly in a single reaction.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy carrying molecule in living systems while Glucose is an organic molecule (carbohydrate) that stores a high amount of energy. Glucose is a monosaccharide and the smallest unit of carbohydrate-containing foods we eat. Chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds that hold the glucose molecule.

However, during the process of cellular respiration, energy stored in glucose molecule is broken down and transferred to ATP, which stores energy between the phosphate bonds of its molecule. The energy in ATP is released to perform cellular activities when the phosphate bond of the last phosphate molecule is broken.

Although the glucose molecule stores way more energy than ATP molecule, the ATP molecule releases its energy quickly in a single reaction. This makes energy readily available for cellular functions. This property of ATP makes it an active energy source over glucose.

Answer:

Crossing over ensures that organisms of the same parents have differences in genetic content making them unique in one way or the other.

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of crossing over, which occurs only during prophase I of meiosis. During the process of crossing over, alleles of a gene are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes (mother and father chromosomes).

Hence, a unique GAMETE that has been genetically recombined will be formed. When these gametes are fertilized (egg) or fertilizes (sperm), organisms that are genetically different from their parents are produced. This ensures genetic variation, which is a difference in the genetic content of organisms.
