ATPs are the power cell of a cell. Just like a cell, they need to be charged before they can deliver power.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

ATP or the Adenosine Triphosphate is a complex molecule containing a Adenine nitrogen base, a ribose sugar and three phosphates being attached with each other in a chain. Adenosine Triphosphate is the power currency of a cell. It just acts like a rechargeable battery. The metabolic and physiological processes of a cell that needs energy, involves the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and Pi which are Adenosine Diphosphate and Inorganic phosphate respectively.

Now the ATP is discharged and needs to be charged. So the ADPs are charged into ATPs by different processes of respiration  like Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle, Electron Transport Chain etc.

Both the hydrolysis and the condensation of ATP makes the ATP cycle.

Diet and nutrition are closely linked to the study of biomolecules. how should you monitor your food intake to ensure the cells
alukav5142 [94]

The intake of food must be monitored to make sure that the cells in the body possess the essential nutrients to function. For example, one must consume the balanced diet, which is rich in carbohydrates, proteins, essential macro and micro-nutrients, fewer fats, and others.  

The nutrition and diet are closely associated. The food consumed is digested and conducted to the different segments of the body as an important molecule, that is, in the form of glucose. Thus, the prediction of proteins and glucose in the cells of the body is the suitable procedure to monitor the substances needed for the cells to function.

How can a punnett square predict the traits of offsprings
Anna35 [415]

A punnet square predict the traits of offspring genetic crosses and test crosses.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In pea plants, the traits or characteristics inheritance is been observed and studies by Gregor Mendel. A model was proposed by him, in which the characteristics or traits are specified from genes. Genes can take different alleles or versions. The appearance of an organism can be determined by the dominant alleles. These hides the characteristics of recessive alleles.

The law of segregation is, When gametes are made by an organism the copy of one gene is passed to each gametes. The combinations of allele which is genotype, and the phenotypes which are the characteristics that are observable can be predicted by a Punnett square. This is done by  genetic crosses. In order to predict whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous can be determined by a test crosses.

Now that you have identified the components of DNA, can you describe how these components bind together to form a DNA molecule?
omeli [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is attached below.

Answer:

1. DNA is the polymer of deoxyribonucleotides that contain the nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group. The phosphate is attached with the 3 C position of the deoxyribose sugar. This leads to teh formation of phosphodiester bond.

2. The DNA backbone consists of phosphate and sugar. The nitrogenous bases are inserted inside the DNA molecule. These nitrogenous bases are linked together by the hydrogen bonds.

3. The adenine binds requires two hydrogen bonds to bind with thymine. This provide complementary nature to the DNA molecule. Uracil is present instead of thymine in RNA .

4. The guanine binds requires three hydrogen bonds to bind with cytosine. More amount of energy is required to break their bonds.
