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.

Calculate the percent mass of sugar in mountain dew: The total mass of the mountain dew solution is 300g and there are 231 g of
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

c. 77 %

Explanation:

Percent mass (% mass) of solute = mass of solute/mass of solution × 100

According to this question, a mountain dew solution weighing 300grams contains 231 g of sugar. This means that:

% mass of sugar = 231g/300g × 100

% mass of sugar = 0.77 × 100

% mass of sugar = 77%.
