Answer:

ATP is used for short-term energy and to build molecules of starch and fat.

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.

Consider the following four structures: What is the relationship of I and II? What is the relationship of I and III? What is the

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The different structures are shown in the attachment.

I and II - structural isomers

I and III - Structural isomers

I and IV - structural isomers

II and III - structural isomers

II and IV - structural isomers

III and IV - stereoisomers

Explanation:

The knowledge of Isomerism is tested here; there are two types of isomerism ; structural and stereoisomerism.

Structural Isomers have similar molecular and different double bond positioning, these occurs mostly in ALKENE FAMILY.

Stereo-isomers have the same molecular formular and similar patterns but differ in their spatial arrangement. trans and cis are typical examples of stereo-isomers.

From the question; Relationship between I and II is that they are structural isomers since they have the same molecular formula, but different bond atom arrangement and infact they are the same compound.

Relationship between I and III is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formular but differ in the double bond position.

Relationship between I and IV is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formula but different double bond arrangement.

Relationship between II and III is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formular but different double bond position

Relationship between II and IV is that they are also structural isomers with the same molecular formular but different double bond position.

Relationship between III and IV is that they are stereo-isomers with same molecular formula but different spatial arrangement, hence cis and trans.

Why is carbon good for forming the structure of life?

Leni [432]

First things first carbon is quite common element here in Earth. But it is not all, right? Otherwise we would be built from other, more common elements. The thing is in carbon reactiveness. Also energy needed to create carbon chemical compounds isnt that big when compared to etc nitrogen. It can bind up to 4 different elements (atoms). Thanks to this can givesingle, both and triple bindings! Carbon can give away electrons or take them making his degree of oxidation consequently from -IV to +IV. All this vareity leads to vareity of bigger elements that will be created from carbon later- carbohydrates, proteins etc. As life needs vareity to adapt to different situations and climax only carbon therefore can provide this.
