Where are they? Would love to answer
Claim: Whales evolved from land mammals to water mammals.
Evidence: The first whales evolved over 50 million years. One of the first whales, such as Pakicetus, were land animals with long skulls and carnivorous teeth, much like many adaptable land mammals back then and today.
Answer:
The exergonic reaction of hydrolysis of ATP must be coupled to an endergonic reaction to perform work or to power other reactions.
Explanation:
ATP (adenosin triphosphate) is hydrolized to give ADP and releases energy as follows:
ATP + H₂O ⇆ ADP + Pi + energy
The released energy itself is not used to power biochemical reaction. In order to power other reactions, ATP hydrolysis- a energetically favorable reaction- is coupled to another energetically disfavorable reaction. The linking or coupling is performed through a shared intermediate, which is often a phosphorilated molecule. For example, in the formation reaction of sucrose from glucose and fructose, an intermediate is formated by the transfer of a phosphate group (Pi) provided by ATP hydrolysis. Then, the phosphorilated intermediate (glucose-Pi)- wich is unstable- reacts with fructose in a spontaneous reaction to give sucrose.
Answer:
Spinocerebellar tracts.
Explanation:
Spinocerebellar tracts are afferent neurons that transmit proprioceptive information from the peripheral nervous system ( muscles and joints propricetors) to the cerebellum. It originated from the spinal cord and end at the cerebellum. It carry unconscious proprioceptive sensory information from the muscles, organs to the cerebellum.
