Answer:

A. Epithelial

Explanation:

One of the functions of epithelial tissues is the secretion of mucus, hormones, enzymes, etc. Based on the functions, epithelial tissues are classified as surface epithelium and glandular epithelium.

The glandular cells present in glandular epithelium perform the function of secretion. Depending on the type of the gland, the epithelium present in the gland may secrete the substances through ducts or directly into the bloodstream.

For example, the goblet cells are the unicellular exocrine glands that serve to secrete the mucus that serve the function of lubrication.

The release of one phosphate group from ATP powers the reactants in the cell which phosphate is the one that is released from AT
kolezko [41]

Answer:

ADP

Explanation:

Your question: The release of one phosphate group from ATP powers the reactants in the cell which phosphate is the one that is released from ATP

My answer: ADP

Why is my answer correct?

If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate. The energy holding that phosphate molecule is now released and available to do work for the cell.

Hope this helps! :)
