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.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,
