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.

The one on the bottom
bonufazy [111]
Natural selection or survival of the fittest can cause a major evolution as the species at risk need to stay alive and therefore need to become more adapted to the situation at hand. The species can evolve through generations to become more crafted to the predatorial habits of their predators. If the females are less at risk than the males then the males might evolve to become more protected or if some of the species live in a different situation maybe not even that far away, that can have a big impact on the evolutionary habits of the species at hand.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Starch are macromolecules that are made of monomers that are simple sugars. Cells are microscopic and they can only absorb small substances. Therefore starch needs to be digested in other words broken down into simpler substances that can be taken in by cells. Therefore before starch can enter a cell it must be 3) digested to form simple sugars

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

releasing cytokines that will destroy the foreign cells.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A client's exposure to an infectious microorganism has stimulated the client's immune response, including activation of effector (cytotoxic) T cells. These cells will help to eliminate pathogens by:

releasing cytokines that will destroy the foreign cells.

stimulating B cells to become more immunologically active.

releasing antibodies from within their cells membrane.

initiating the inflammatory response.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The recombinant frequency between T and S is  18%;

The correct Sequence of genes is T-A-S

Explanation:

The table below shows the recombinant frequency between heterozygous height and nose morphology:

Tall-uptrend snout                            40%                            Expected

Dwarf-downtrend snout                   42%                            Expected

Dwarf-uptrend snout                         9%                             Recombinant

Tall-uptrend snout                             9%                             Recombinant

Sum Total                                           100%

To calculate the recombinant frequency; we have :

=9+9

=18%

Hence, the recombinant frequency between T and S = 18%

The determinant of the corect sequence of the genes is  T-A-S
