<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Desert soils are poor in organic matter because there are very less plant remains in the soil. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>A desert has extreme conditions which support less life.</em> Organic matter in soil called humus is formed by the deposition of dead plants and animals in the soil. <em>Soil contains decomposing microbes which act upon the dead plant and animal remains converting them to organic matter. </em>

In deserts the availability of water is very low which limits the growth of plants there. Animal population is also very less in desert areas.  <em>Above all that the extreme heat of the desert destroys the less amount of organic matter formed. </em>

Answer: ATP releases energy when it converts to ADP .

Explanation:

During energy needs, the body cells directs the loss of a phosphate group (Pi) from ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) to yeild ADP (adenosine Diphosphate), and a further loss will yield AMP (adenosine monophosphate). For each loss energy is also released when a phosphate is removed

The reaction involves the addition of water, so it is a hydrolytic reaction, and is catalyzed by enzymes of the mitochondria, and is represented as the equation below:

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy
