Biology
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago

The answer is false.

Energy used by the body to perform muscular contractions and many other energy-required functions is adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

The most important function of ATP is its ability to store and transport chemical energy within cells. That energy can be used for many chemical processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, chemical synthesis.. When consumed in metabolic processes as an energy source, it becomes converted either to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) because one or two phosphate groups are released (hydrolysis of high-energy bonds).

Since ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate it can be used for the synthesis of nucleic acids.

Which of the following best describes the function of fruits? Group of answer choices
ratelena [41]

The correct answer is B. Protection and dispersal of seeds

Explanation:

In plants, fruits are structures that form as a result of fertilization, which makes ovules become seeds and flowers maturate to become fruits. This is necessary for the reproduction of plants, as fruits contain seeds or genetical material that is protected by different layers and leads to new plants if seeds are dispersed. The process of dispersal commonly occurs as the fruit falls from the plant or is eaten by other organisms and then disperse in other areas, which allow plants to reproduce. According to this, the main function of fruits is protection and dispersal of seeds.
