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.

Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the rock layers is that Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age..

The relative age is used in placing sedimentary rocks in order of their occurrence.

To do this, we apply the sedimentary laws.

The ones applicable here are:

Principle of superposition states that in an undisturbed sequence, the oldest layer is at the base and youngest on top.
Principle of cross cutting states that a fault and intrusion are younger than the rocks they cut through.
Principle of fossil and fauna succession states that fossils and fauna succeed on another in a determinable form.

We see that layers 2 and 9 have the same fossil and are the same lithological units.

melamori03 [73]

The States of Matter are classified into solid, liquid, and gas. Among these physical states, if we are going to refer to the water molecules, the one that would possess the greatest energy is gas. If you would take the energy of gas, this would become liquid. The answer is option C.
