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)

Which sequence shows the correct order of living things in a food chain?
kkurt [141]

The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.

In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.
