Their response is rapid and usually only a few days after a viral infection. They also respond to <span>cancer cell </span>formation. While other immune cells can detect only those harmful cells that have specific markers on the surface of the cell membrane, natural killer cells can even detect those cells that miss markers for apoptosis.

Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is ?
Gekata [30.6K]

Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is <u><em>Removed from ATP to form ADP.</em></u>

Answer: <em>C. Removed from ATP to form ADP </em>

Explanation:

Three important energy carrier molecules in a cell are: ATP (Adenosine triphosphate, NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenosine Dinucleotide Phosphate) and FADH2. All the three carrier molecules play an important role in cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

One NADH molecule is equal to 3 ATP molecule while 1 FADH2 molecule is equal to 2 ATP molecule. During the active process, ATP is used as a form of energy because ATP dephosphorylates to ADP and Inorganic phosphate, Pi and release energy.
