What is unique about Carbon

Biology
1 answer:
allochka39001 [22]2 years ago

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

Carbon atoms can share not only a single electron with another atom to form a single bond, but it can also share two or three electrons, forming a double or triple bond. This makes for a huge number of possible bond combinations at different places, making a huge number of different possible molecules. And a molecule that differs by even one atom or one bond position is a molecule of a different compound.

Based on the model of cellular transport, the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP provide a mechanism for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>Cellular transport is the movement of ions or molecules across the membrane of the cell through either active or passive process.</em>

Explanation:

During active transport, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used. In passive transport, ATP is not used. In active cellular transport, the ions move across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

For ATP to be used, it has to get hydrolyzed thereby forming ADP and inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, ADP captures the energy through the oxidation process taking place in the cell.
