Naddika [18.5K]3 years ago
6 0

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.

A chemical mutagen that is structurally similar to a nucleotide but has different base-pairing rules is called a ________.
OLga [1]

Answer:

Nucleoside analog

Explanation:

  • Nucleoside analogs are the mutagenic chemicals that have a structure that is similar to the normal bases of the nucleotide and thus can be incorporated in the DNA during the process of replication, however as it has different base-pairing rules than the normal nucleotide base it can lead to mutations.
  • An example of a nucleoside analog is acyclovir which an analog of guanosine.

What effect did the capture of Vicksburg have upon the Confederacy?
Nina [5.8K]
The effect that the capture of Vicksburg had upon the confederacy was that the states west of Mississippi became completely isolated. The Mississippi valley states were no longer considered a great threat. This also opened the doors of invasion for the states that lied to the deep south. Vicksburg was an important place to capture in respect to its geographical position.

If a meal supplies 110 g of carbohydrates, 25 g of protein, 20 g of fat, and the equivalent of 5 g of alcohol, what % of the kca
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.058 % kcalories comes from carbohydrate.

Explanation:

1 g of carbohydrtes gives 4 calories, 1 g of protein gives 4 kcalories, 1 gm of fat gives 9 calories and 1 g of alcohol gives 7 calories of energy.

Thus in a meal  that contains 110 g carbohydrates gives 110 x 4 = 440 calories,  25 g protein gives 25 x 4 = 100 calories, 20 g fat gives 20 x 9 = 180 calories and 5 g alcohol gives 5 x 7 =  35 calories.

Total calories in a meal  440+100+180+35 = 755.

Therefore % of carbogydrate will be 440x 100 divided by 755 = 58.27 %

In kcalories % would be 58.27/1000 = 0.5827 %

How do C4 plants ensure photosynthetic efficiency?​
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

In C4 photosynthesis, where a four-carbon compound is produced, unique leaf anatomy allows carbon dioxide to concentrate in 'bundle sheath' cells around Rubisco. This structure delivers carbon dioxide straight to Rubisco, effectively removing its contact with oxygen and the need for photorespiration
