Answer:

Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP, is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It is the main energy currency of the cell, and it is an end product of the processes of photophosphorylation (adding a phosphate group to a molecule using energy from light), cellular respiration, and fermentation.

It is made up of the molecule adenosine (which itself is made up of adenine and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. It is soluble in water and has a high energy content due to having two phosphoanhydride bonds connecting the three phosphate groups

 Its main function is to store energy within the cell. ... ATP hydrolysis is an exotermic reaction, releasing energy which is used by the cell.sphate groups.

Answer:

Adenosine Triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered by biologists to be the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do.

Science definitions for atp

Short for adenosine triphosphate. An organic compound, C10H16N5O13P3, that is composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups. It serves as a source of energy for many metabolic processes. ATP releases energy when it is broken down into ADP by hydrolysis during cell metabolism.

WITCHER [35]
An example of vesiscle-mediated transport would be cell secretion by exocytosis.

The reason why this would be an example of vesicle-mediated transport is because all the other types of transport listed here are not something you would call vesicle-transport; the substances don't really get transported in vesicles. This is different in exocytosis where the compounds gets packaged into vesicles.

Why do we classify lionfish populations near the eastern united states as an invasive species? what suggests that these new popu
strojnjashka [21]

The answer is  Lionfish are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally found in the indo-pacific, which is their native environment. However, their presence in the eastern United States has have threatened the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore, their population explodes unchecked.

Which of the following are properties of all cells? 1. Evolution. 2. Growth. 3. Communication. 4. Diferentiation. 5. Compartment
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life and possess genes. These genes evolve to carry out new biological functions in the body.  

Cells undergo division and growth whether it be unicellular organisms or multi cellular organisms.  

All cells possess the property of compartmentalization and metabolism henceforth taking up nutritive material from the environment.

These nutrients are further transformed into the cell compartments and the waste produced as a result is expelled out thus forming on open system.

Which factor is most likely to have a density-independent influence on population growth? question 6 options:?
Murrr4er [49]
The factor that is most likely to have a density-independent influence on population growth is Extreme weather conditions. 
Density-independent factors such as weather and climate, exert their influences on population size regardless of the population's density. Conversely, the effects of density-dependent factors intensify as the population increases in size.
