<u>Answer:</u>

ATP or the Adenosine Triphosphate is the energy currency of the living world, which transfers energy from one organic molecule to other, even from one cell organelle to other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The functional group of ATP is phosphate which is quite evident from its name.

Adenosine diphosphate is the parent molecule. During either photophosphorylation or the respiration, the Inorganic phosphate molecule that is present in the cellular fluid gets attached to the parent molecule ADP via a high energy bond which is broken to give energy to the normal reactions.

Enzymes refers to substances that acts as a catalyst in living organisms. They regulate the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without being altered in the process. Enzymes regulate the biological process that occur within living organisms.

Enzymes catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism such as digestion of food, conservation and transformation of chemical energy and the construction of cellular macromolecules from smaller precursors.

Application of enzymes

1. Industrial application

2. Medical application

1. Enzymes can be used for industrial application such as beer brewing, wine fermentation, bread leavening.

2. Enzyme can also be applied in the medical aspects for killing disease-causing microorganisms, promoting wound healing, and diagnosing some diseases.

Which of these types of weathering does not require the presence of water?
julia-pushkina [17]
The answer is oxidation or chemical weathering. There are three main types of weathering, which includes, mechanical weathering, biological and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by wind, sand rain, thawing, freezing, and other forces that can physically alter the rock. Biological weathering is caused by the activities of plants and animals as they grow, nests and burrow. Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions rather than by mechanical means.
