Answer:
When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
Explanation:
Answer:
Large quantities of water molecules constantly move across cell membranes by simple diffusion, often facilitated by movement through membrane proteins, including aquaporins. In general, net movement of water into or out of cells is negligible. For example, it has been estimated that an amount of water equivalent to roughly 100 times the volume of the cell diffuses across the red blood cell membrane every second; the cell doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out. There are, however, many cases in which net flow of water occurs across cell membranes and sheets of cells. An example of great importance to you is the secretion of and absorption of water in your small intestine. In such situations, water still moves across membranes by simple diffusion, but the process is important enough to warrant a distinct name - osmosis.
Cells in an organism can develop in different ways to perform different tasks.
Answer: Option B.
harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll
Explanation:
In the thylakoid membranes,the main role of the antenna pigment molecules is harvest photons and transfer light energy to the reaction-center chlorophyll because the photon of light move until it get to a molecule in the chlorophyll. When it reaches the molecule, it causes an excitation of electrons in the chlorophyll. The energy then present allow it to break free from the chlorophyll atom, which indicate chlorophyll donating an electron and the energy that is absorbed is then converted to heat.
CO2 is a relatively small non-polar molecule that can easily fit through the phospholipids in the plasma membrane without getting repelled by the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. Hence CO2 diffuses across the membrane without the aid of any intrinsic proteins (simple diffusion).
Amino acids however are large molecules that cannot fit through phospholipids in the bilayer. Hence, amino acids are most likely to diffuse across the cell plasma membrane with the help of channel and carrier proteins via facilitated diffusion.
You'll be able to make contrast and compare by reading both of them.
