What functional group is commonly used in cells to transfer energy from one organic molecule to another?

Biology
1 answer:
Alja [10]3 years ago
4 0

<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.

How are scientists able to use fossils of extinct organisms as evidence?
nikdorinn [45]

The answer is; C

Fossil fuels are the remains of an organism  that lived in the past and have been preserved  or their impression has been preserved. Fossils are studied to identify the difference (genetic and phenotypic) between past and future related organism  and are carbon dated to determine the time in which the organisms existed. The study of fossils is called paleontology.

1. List and explain the difference between the minimum voltage and maximum voltage achieve in a nerve impulse
algol [13]
The normal membrane potential inside the axon of nerve cells is –70mV, and since this potential can change in nerve cells it is called the resting potential. When a stimulus is applied a brief reversal of the membrane potential, lasting about a millisecond, occurs. This brief reversal is called the action potential 
<span>A stimulus can cause the membrane potential to change a little. The voltage-gated ion channels can detect this change, and when the potential reaches –30mV the sodium channels open for 0.5ms. The causes sodium ions to rush in, making the inside of the cell more positive. This phase is referred to as a depolarisation since the normal voltage polarity (negative inside) is reversed (becomes positive inside). </span>

<span>Repolarisation. At a certain point, the depolarisation of the membrane causes the sodium channels to close. As a result the potassium channels open for 0.5ms, causing potassium ions to rush out, making the inside more negative again. Since this restores the original polarity, it is called repolarisation. As the polarity becomes restored, there is a slight ‘overshoot’ in the movement of potassium ions (called hyperpolarisation). The resting membrane potential is restored by the Na+K+ATPase pump.</span>
