ATP, the molecule of energy, has three phosphates (hence the “T” and “P”). When one phosphate group is BROKEN OFF, it releases lots of ENERGY.

Answer: Removed.

Explanation:

<u>ATP, which stands for Adenosine triphosphate, is an energy-carrying molecule which has chemical energy stored in its bonds with phosphate groups.</u> This molecule consists of adenosine (a sugar) and three phosphate groups (triphosphate)

This energy is obtained during cellular respiration from the breakdown of nutrients, and releases it to fuel cellular processes.

So, when the cell needs energy, <u>ATP loses a phosphate group, releasing the energy stored in that bond,</u> thus driving the metabolic processes of life. This energy is released because of the cleavage of high energy phosphate bond in ATP converting it into ADP (now it has two phosphates)

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Warm front

Explanation:

A warm front is the transition zone of the replacement of a cold air mass by a warm air mass. The pressure centers of warm fronts are usually low and the pressure read by a barometer will decrease due to an incoming warm front

The general direction of motion of warm fronts is from southwest to northeast with warmer and moist air behind the warm front than air into which the front flows. Therefore, warm fronts normally results in moderate precipitation or rainfall or snow.

The correct answer is that "further teaching on skin care is necessary". This patient is using tepid water to cleanse the area as well as applying ice three times a day. The nurse should educate the patient that the extremes of temperatures are not necessary and should be avoided such as warm to hot water as well as cold water or even ice. Cold water or ice will constrict blood vessels in the area and can produce tissue necrosis by ischemia. Warm to hot water can scald the skin (if hot enough) and even promote the redness as warm water dilates blood vessels.
