What is the function of ATP?

Biology
2 answers:
sweet-ann [11.9K]3 years ago

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.

Describe the evidence scientists discovered which demonstrate the evolution of whales from land-based mammals to water-based mam
Bumek [7]

Answer: We have found fossils that share specific bony traits that are found only in all whales but absent in every other mammal group, indicating descent from a shared common ancestor with modern whales, and these fossils had legs fully adapted for walking on land, and fundamentally identical to those of older mammals that precede the shared common ancestor that these mammals share with whales.

This tells us that the shared common ancestor of whales and these mammals with legs almost certainly had legs themselves, and inherited those legs from their own older mammal ancestors.

Therefore, whales have ancestors in their lineage that walked on land with legs.

(We also have multiple fossils of ancient whales that had legs transitional in form between fully terrestrial walking legs and flippers adapted for swimming, and modern whales still possess a remnant hip bone buried deep in their bodies.)
