Answer: ATP and transport proteins .

Explanation:

Active transport is characterized by the movement of substances and ions against the concentration gradient, that is, it always occurs from places where they are less concentrated to places where they are more concentrated. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. That is, energy is derived from the degradation of ATP or another high energy phosphate compound, depending on transport proteins.

Tell me how bacteria make their energy and other chemical products.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Bacteria can obtain energy and nutrients by performing photosynthesis, decomposing dead organisms and wastes, or breaking down chemical compounds. Bacteria can obtain energy and nutrients by establishing close relationships with other organisms, including mutualistic and parasitic relationships.

The sequence of sub units in a protein is most directly dependent on the DNA in the chromosomes in a cell

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Any life events that takes place in a cell depends upon the central dogma of life that is the DNA getting transcribed into RNA and the RNA getting translated into protein, therefore we can conclude that the sequences of amino acids are based on the sequences of DNA that are present inside the chromosomes that are packed in a nucleus of a cell.

During periods of intense activity, when glycolysis is used in the generation of atp, the reaction lies to the right, decreasing

umka21 [38]

Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a regulatory molecule in metabolic processes such as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. For example, it stimulates the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase, and therefore ATP production, and it inhibits the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase. Adenylate kinase catalyzes the reversible reaction shown here:

2ADP --> ATP + AMP

During periods of intense activity, when glycolysis is used in the generation of ATP, the reaction lies to the right, decreasing [ADP], generating ATP, and accumulating AMP. However, [ATP] is usually much greater than [ADP], and [ADP] is greater than [AMP].

Determine [AMP] when 3% of the ATP in a hypothetical cell is hydrolyzed to ADP.

In this cell, the initial concentration of ATP is 265 ?M, and the total adenine nucleotide concentration (the concentration of ATP, ADP, and AMP) is 368 ?M. The equilibrium constant K is 0.82
