What is an acid?

Biology
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
8 0
Not (A) because a molcule with pH 7 is neutral eg, water

Not (B) because a molecule with pH >7 is basic/alkali which is the opposite of acid.

This leaves C and D.

Lets take one of the most commonly known acids, hydrochloric acid which has the formula HCl.

When acids are added to water they split up (dissociate).

HCl cannot split to give hydroxide ions but can give hydrogen atoms (which are actually hydrogen ions > H+)


so the answer is D

"couples" energetically unfavorable reactions to ATP condensation in order to drive the reaction toward the required product.

Explanation;

-Metabolic pathways are designed to synthesize necessary cellular reagents as required for cellular and tissue function. To accomplish this, the reaction sequence includes both reactions that are essentially irreversible and reactions that are freely reversible (near equilibrium).

-In most cases, cells use a strategy called reaction coupling, in which an energetically favorable reaction (like ATP hydrolysis) is directly linked with an energetically unfavorable (endergonic) reaction.
