Milli word means 1/1000 times while kilo word means 1000 times. That means a milli meter will be equal to 1/1000 meter while 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. The conversion factor would be: 1 millimeter * (1 meter/1000millimeter) / (1000 meters/1 kilometer)= 1 * 10^-6 kilometer. The conversion factor is 1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm

Since 1 mm equal to 1 * 10^-6 kilometer, the whale length would be:28,578 millimeters * (1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm)= 0.028578 km= 2.85 * 10^-2 km

How does ATP store energy for life's processes and how is it recycled?
maw [93]
ATP stores energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond which then joins the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. When the cell needs energy, it takes the ATP and converts it to ADP and phosphate. Rather than discarding them, they travel back to the mitochondria where they are recycled in order to produce another ATP!
