D

The hydrolytic reaction of ATP into ADP + Pi results in the breaking of high-energy bonds to produce free energy.

Explanation:

ATP has an advantage as an energy molecule in cells.  Firstly its bonds are high energy bonds, especially the last Pi -ADP bond that transforms it into an ATP from ADP. This is because the bond increases the Gibbs free energy of the molecule. This same reason makes the molecule unstable hence easily hydrolyzed to release the free energy to perform work in the cell. The reason it is easily broken is that the addition of a Phosphate to ADP increases the repulsive force of the electron clouds and the negative charges of the phosphates that are arranged in geometric sequence in the molecular structure.

What is the mass of 1.71 ✕ 1023 molecules of h2so4?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
The equation for calculating a mass is as follows:

m=n×M

Molar mass (M) we can determine from Ar that can read in a periodical table, and a number of moles we can calculate from the available date for N:

n(H2SO4)=N/NA

n(H2SO4)= 1.7×10²³ / 6 × 10²³

n(H2SO4)= 0.3 mole

Now we can calculate a mass of H2SO4:

m(H2SO4) = n×M = 0.3 × 98 = 27.8 g

When an iron nail is ground into powder, its mass ____.
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

(a) The mass of an object remains the same always. It is independent of its location. In this case, an iron nail is ground into powder. It means that its mass will remain unchanged. Hence, (a) is the correct option.

(b) Whenever there is a change of color of an object, a chemical reaction occurs. It shows that a reaction happens there. In this problem, a paper turns yellow-brown upon exposure to sunlight. A chemical reaction takes place there. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

How can you increase the amount of energy in a wave?
patriot [66]

Explanation:

One is amplitude, which is the distance from the rest position of a wave to the top or bottom. Large amplitude waves contain more energy. The other is frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second. If more waves pass by, more energy is transferred each second.
