Electricity is added to recharge a battery. A third phosphate group is added to ADP to form ATP.
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate contains adenine, ribose and 3 phosphate groups.
ADP is converted to ATP by the following reaction:
ADP+Pi+energy⇄ATP
The analogy between battery and ATP can be explained as ATP is higher energy form and ADP is lower energy form like charged and uncharged form of the battery. When the terminal or third phosphate is removed from the ATP it becomes ADP and releases energy like a battery. The additional phosphate group when added to ADP forms the ATP molecule like the energy spent by the batteries are recharged by putting in additional energy. Here the additional energy is provided by the third phosphate group.
The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.
The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
Answer:
(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)
(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.
Explanation:
(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n
t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)
Since t = kn, then, n = t/k
(b) Initial amount of strands = 300
Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360
k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand
Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)
Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours
