<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.

Which type of movement is characteristic of the articulation between the tibia and fibula with the talus?
jonny [76]

Solution:

The function and mobility of each joint depends on its anatomical design. Joints that permit no movement or slight movement are common in the axial skeleton where basic structural support and protection  is expected. Joints that are freely moveable are common in the appendicular skeleton where mobility is required. Is known as articulation.

The tibial collateral ligament reinforces the medial side of the knee joint and the fibular collateral ligament reinforces the lateral side of the knee joint. Two popliteal ligaments reinforce the posterior side of the knee joint.

After DNA fragments with matching sticky ends are temporarily joined by complementary base pairing, the union can be made perman
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The correct option is b. DNA ligase

Explanation:

DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins DNA fragments. If two DNA fragments or molecules have complementary ends, the ligase can join them together to form a single and intact DNA molecule, without interruptions. This is because the ligase enzyme seals the space between the molecules to form a single DNA fragment.  

The others enzymes have different functions:

DNA helicase is characterized by separating DNA from double strands into single strands and acts in DNA replication.

ATP methylase plays an important role in DNA replication when determining the beginning of replication that has already been replicated or not.

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for catalyzing the polymerization of the new strand of DNA during the replication of this molecule.
