Reef-building corals were
confined to relatively shallow depths because
many of these corals have microscopic algae
called zooxanthellae living inside their soft tissues.
These algae
are often important for the corals’ nutrition and
growth, but require sunlight for photosynthesis. There is no sunlight deep in the water.
Answer:
Active transport mechanisms require the use of the cell’s energy, usually in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Explanation:
If a substance must move into the cell against its concentration gradient, that is, if the concentration of the substance inside the cell must be greater than its concentration in the extracellular fluid, the cell must use energy to move the substance. Some active transport mechanisms move small-molecular weight material, such as ions, through the membrane.
In addition to moving small ions and molecules through the membrane, cells also need to remove and take in larger molecules and particles.
Answer:
3 phosphate groups
Explanation:
Three phosphate groups make up the "tail" of an ATP molecule.
