The right option is; D) It has high-energy phosphate bonds  

ATP contains a large amount of energy because it has high-energy phosphate bonds.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic molecule that performs important roles as an energy transport molecule, a phosphate donor, and a signaling molecule within cells. ATP is made up of adenosine (an adenine ring and a ribose sugar), and three phosphate groups. ATP is an unstable molecule which hydrolyzes when it react with water to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate. The large amount of energy of ATP comes from the two high-energy phosphate bonds.

Tapping the patellar tendon will usually result in a/n:
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Tapping the patellar tendon will usually result in a spinal reflex.

Explanation:

The patellar reflex is the involuntary contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle by flexion of the patellar tendon. It is a reflex of spinal or stretching type. It was discovered, studied and first reported in 1875 by William Erb.

By striking the patellar tendon, the leg is extended as alpha motor neurons direct a nerve impulse to the quadriceps femoris muscle. The femoral nerve, responsible for such reflex, extends throughout the thigh and its synapses are found in the lumbar spinal nerve 2 to 4 of the spinal cord. Therefore, this movement is involuntary and responds to a need for automatic regulation of body muscles.
