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.

Where is sugar removed and how can you tell​
Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

What you need to understand first, is the digestive system, after that, you'll probably be able to understand not only sugar, but other components of your food too.

    It all starts at your mouth, you are going to do a lot of the job for the food to get to your stomach by chewing it. After it gets to your stomach, the digestion will do its job as the pH there is less than 7. After this process, the food is going to your intestine, and then, it's right here, that the sugar/carbohydrates you ate are going to get into your blood. After this, sugar is going to be used to create energy for your cells and body to work properly, with that, sugar is consumed and you can start the process all over again.

Hoochie [10]
An organism that exhibits a head with sensory equipment and a brain probably also have receptors, which capture the stimuli of the environment and transform them into a nervous impulse, and organs of the senses that are the communication channels we have with the environment and thanks to them we understand and interpret the environment, they are: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

If the frequency of an allele is 0.75, how many copies of this allele should be in a population of 300 diploid individuals?
Ray Of Light [21]

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.
