Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.
The immune system protects and fights germs and bacteria that get into the body. I hope this helped.
Pitfall traps (pitcher plants) trap prey in a rolled leaf that contains a pool of digestive enzymes or bacteria. Flypaper traps use a sticky mucilage. Snap traps utilise rapid leaf movements. Bladder traps suck in prey with a bladder that generates an internal vacuum.
Answer:
The phosphate groups of ATP are held together by unstable bonds that can be broken to release energy.
Explanation:
Biological reactions release energy from redox reactions graduallly trapped it as ATP.
ATP is the general molecule that cells use to power most of their activities. The phosphate groups of ATP are held together by unstable bonds that can be broken to release energy. ATP is a molecule under stress with too many negative charges in one place. Release of one phosphate relieves the stress and releases energy which can be used for cellular activities like transport , motility etc.
