Energy used by the body to perform muscular contractions is called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP.

Biology
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The energy used for muscular cont ration is ATP(adenosine triphosphate) This is the energy currency produced in the mitochondrial during cellular respiration.

During muscles contraction.The ATPs is broken down to ADP and Pi.

This is the breakdown of energy rich bonds binding phosphate ions with ATP.The breakdown of the bonds produced -32kJper the 3 bonds in ATP. Therefore as each bond is broken, energy is produced for muscle contraction

It is an exergonic reaction with production of heat.

Thus ATP is used for muscle contraction.ADP is the intermediate of ATP when one Phosphate is removed during the breakdown.

Thus the sequence is Adenosine triphosphate (3 phosphate) to Adenosine diphosphate(2 phosphate) to Adenosine monophosphate (1 phosphate)

Each bond breakin gives equal energy of -32kJpermol.

What is the name of the photosynthetic process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in ATP and NADPH
abruzzese [7]
Thus, light energy is initially converted to chemical energy in the form of two compounds: NADPH, a source of energized electrons ( "reducing power"); and ATP, the versatile energy currency o that the light reactions produce no sugar; that happens in the second stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.

3 structural changes that must occur in young plants cell as they differentiate into xylem tissue
just olya [345]
Differentiation in plants refers to the processes by which distinct cell types arise from precursor cells and become different from each other. Plants have about a dozen basic cell types that are required for everyday functioning and survival. Additional cell types are required for sexual reproduction. While the basic diversity of plant cell types is low compared to animals, these cells are strikingly different. For example, some cells such as parenchyma cells retain the potential to respond to environmental and/or hormonal signals throughout their life and, under the right conditions, can be transformed into another cell type (transdifferentiation). Other cells such as the water-conducting vessel elements undergo cell death as part of their differentiation pathway and thus can never transdifferentiate to another cell type

Which of the following would NOT be considered a reemerging disease?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Option D, West Nile virus fever/encephalitis

Explanation:

A re-emerging disease is one which after a long span of time has re-emerged again as the microbes causing such diseases have become resistant to the    existing drugs.

Here tuberculosis , malaria and gonorrhea  are the re-emerging disease as the microbes causing these diseases have become resistant to the available drugs and thus there is a need to produce medicines that  could fight with the re-emerged multi drug resistant tuberculosis , Malaria and gonorrhea

Hence, option D is correct.
