Which of the answer correctly explains how the ATP molecule differs in function from the ADP molecule?

2 answers:

7 0

A: ADP requires energy to make ATP, even though the net gain by the release of energy from ATP is > energy required to make ATP from ADP. ATP may be considered potential energy until it is actually used as an energy source

c: ADP has 2 phosphates and to get energy from this, more energy must be put into the system to remove a phosphate than the energy released upon the removal of the phosphate. 
ATP has 3 phosphates and to get energy from this, the 3rd phosphate can be easily removed to give this energy. ADP could be considered potential energy in that it only requires the attachment of a phosphate group to make ATP. 

to me, there isn't really a clear answer for a or c 
if i had to choose, i would go with C

Answer:

i think its 1%

Explanation:

if the grass has 100% energy and only 10% gets passed do that two times and you should have 1% since 1 x 10 is 10

Cells can make proteins that need to be transported out of the cell and moved to another part of the body. Cells also make carbo

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The proteins will be transported through exocytosis; the carbon dioxide will diffuse through the membrane.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the passive transport of substances down their concentration gradient. The process moves the substances from the region of higher concentration to that of lower concentration. CO2 is a small molecule and does not have any charge. Small, uncharged molecules can diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Therefore, CO2 can exit a cell by simple diffusion.

On the other hand, proteins are too large to be transported by diffusion across the cell membrane. The proteins are transported by exocytosis. During exocytosis of proteins, membrane-bound vesicles are formed inside the cell. These vesicles carry proteins in them and are called secretory vesicles. The membrane of the vesicles fuse with the cell membrane of cells and transport the proteins outside the cell.
