What substance is the USABLE source of the energy that an animal cell uses for the synthesis of materials?

ATP because its essentially stored energy. All the cell has to do to release the energy is break off a phosphate. ATP is like money in the bank. It's there when cells need energy. Glucose is the preferred molecule to go through the krebs cycle to be made into ATP, but it has to be converted to ATP before its energy can be used. Starch is a macromolecule and has to be broken down into monosaccharides and then converted into ATP, so it's not he most direct source of energy. DNA is the code for telling the cells what proteins to make. It's not a source of energy. Sorry its long but hope it helps!!

Waters in the coastal ocean tend to be more productive than waters of similar depth in the open ocean. What is the main reason f

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The coastal ocean seems to be more productive than the waters of the similar height in the open ocean due to ample availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients. The coastal ocean has more nutrients due to the process of upwelling, that is, movement of water offshore by the currents.

Also, water situated on the continental shelves is comparatively shallower and thus it is turbulent. This mixing or turbulence keeps settling the nutrients stirred up and accessible, and eventually, ample of nutrients erode off the continents themselves and so water nearby to the shore seems to be greater in nutrients.

On the other hand, in the surface water away from the coastlines, usually, there is a lot of sunlight but no availability of adequate nutrients. Therefore, the majority of the ocean surface is not much productive.
