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.

Answer:

B)protons, down

Explanation:

Chemiosmosis is the diffusion of ions through a selective permeable membrane. It specifically refers to the production of ATP through the movement of hydrogen ions through an inner membrane during cellular respiration. Hydrogen ions diffuse from an area of high proton concentration to one of lower concentration.

Why is photosynthesis so important to living organisms?

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

All living organisms need energy to stay alive, but only producers can directly convert energy into food.

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis is very important because all living organisms need energy to stay alive, but only producers can directly convert energy into food.

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food in the presence of carbon dioxide and water.

They take light energy from the sun and produce food materials.
The light energy is converted to chemical energy which are stored in carbon chains as glucose.
The chemical energy is then used by other living organisms for their own nourishment.
