Answer:

The correct answer is (b) epinephrine.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, also known as <em>Adrenaline</em>, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands.

In medicine, epinephrine is used as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma.

When epinephrine is inhaled in small doses, it causes short-term relief from the symptoms by widening the bronchial tubes allowing air to pass through.

I hope it helps!

Which statement is an example of the chemical potential energy in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) being turned into work?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (C) "After splitting ATP, a protein changes shape to pump ions across a membrane".

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic chemical molecule considered the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer, for the high level of energy that is released when ATP is breakdown into adenosine diphosphate (ADP). ATP provides energy to drive many processes in living cells. One example of how the chemical potential energy of this molecule is turned into work is that after splitting ATP, a protein changes shape to pump ions across a membrane. The energy of the splitting of ATP into ADP will provide energy for the protein being able to change shape, resulting in pumping ions across a membrane.
