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)

Types of adaptation and explain​
Maslowich

Answer:

The three basic types of adaptations, based on how the genetic changes are expressed, are structural, physiological and behavioral adaptations. Most organisms have combinations of all these types.

Explanation:

Living things are adapted to the habitat they live in. This is because they have special features that help them to survive. The development of these special features is the result of evolution due to gene mutation. These mutations aid in the survival and reproduction and passes on from one generation to the other.
