ADP is like an uncharged battery. ATP is like a charged battery, ready to provide energy to do work in the cell. The charging of ADP into ATP takes place in the mitochondria. Fat and starch are stable (last a long time) whereas ATP goes dead too quick and will need to be recharged.

glucose is a carbon chain molecule (sugar). When the bonds in the chain are broken, energy is released. That energy is used to turn ADP into ATP. Glucose is the "electricity" used to charge the battery.

When boiling water is the particles expanding?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
When water is boiling the particles in the liquid are not expanding. This also applies for other liquids. Particles do not expand, it is only the volume they take up that expands. When water is boiling, the particles are rather escaping the liquid phase by undergoing a phase change which forms the particles into the gaseous phase.

Carbohydrates like sugars and starches are made of only three elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). How is it poss
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A carbohydrate is formed from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These three elements are combined in every carbohydrate.

Even though carbohydrates are composed of only these three atoms, the number of atoms of these elements in each carbohydrate as well as the spatial arrangement of these atoms in each carbohydrate is not the same.

This means that different carbohydrates contain different number of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are arranged in different ways in space. This gives room for the existence of many different types of carbohydrates all consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
