What is the function of ATP?

Biology

Answer: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is considered as the energy currency of the cell. This means that it is used as one of the most important energy source for driving metabolic functions (like muscle contraction) within the cell.

ATP stores large amount of energy within its phosphoanhydride bond (present between two phosphate). Whenever a cell requires energy, ATP undergoes hydrolysis and gets converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate and the large amount of stored energy is released that is further utilized by the cell for driving its functions.

ATP or adenosine tri phosphate is the cell's main source of energy. It is hydrolyzed by the cell and the energy released is used in cellular activities like muscle movement

Compared to the inertia of a 1-kilogram mass, the
avanturin [10]

Answer:

D. 4 times as great

Explanation:

The inertia of an object is the resistance offered by the object to change in its motion or position.

Then concept of inertia is obtained from Newton's first law of motion which states that an object which is not subjected to any net external force will remain its position of rest or constant velocity of motion until some net external force acts on it. The object at rest will then start to move whereas the object moving at constant velocity will experience a change in its speed or direction of motion.

This reluctance to change position is greater, the more massive an object is as well as the higher the speed of motion of the object. Thus, inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object as well to the velocity of an object in motion.

From Newton's first law, inertia can be calculated as the force to be overcome to mobile an object, i.e. Inertia = F = ma

Where m is mass of object, a = acceleration of the object.

Objects on the earth's surface experience a constant acceleration, g.

Thus for a 1 kg mass, Inertia = 1 × g

For a 4 kg mass, inertia = 4 × g

The inertia of a 4 kg mass is four times as great as a 1 kg mass.

In an experiment, a certain colony of bacteria initially has a population of 50,000. A reading is taken every 2 hours, and at th
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1) Recursive definition: p_n = (50,000)3^n

2) At the beginning of the 4th interval

Explanation:

1)

The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is

p_0 = 50,000

Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so

n=2 h

And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.

This means that when n = 1,

p_1 = 3 p_0

And when n=2,

p_2 = 3 p_1 = 3(3p_0)=9 p_0

Applied recursively, we get

p_n = 3^n p_0

And substituting p0,

p_n = (50,000)3^n (1)

2)

Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are

p=1,350,000

bacteria.

This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as

1,350,000=(50,000)3^n

By simplifying,

27=3^n

Which means that

n=3

However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.
