Energy is released from ATP when ATP undergoes hydrolysis.

ATP supplies energy for cellular activities by breaking off a phosphate group from its structure.

ATP is produced through the process of cellular respiration where food particles such as glucose are broken down to yield energy in the form of ATP.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Cellular respiration</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process of by which living organisms use nutrients or food substances to generate energy in the form of ATP that is required to drive cellular processes.
Cellular respiration takes place in an organelle known as mitochondrion which is known as the powerhouse of the cell.
Cellular respiration takes place in three stages; glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and electron transport.
Each step of cellular respiration yields ATP with the electron transport chain yielding the most number of ATP molecules, 34 ATP molecules.

ATP is the energy carrier molecule in the cells of living organisms. It is the usable form of energy by the cells in all living forms. Cells use ATP to drive all the cellular activities such as transport, excretion, growth and development, etc.
ATP is produced through the process of cellular respiration where food particles such as glucose are broken down to yield energy in the form of ATP.

<h3>Hydrolysis of ATP</h3>

ATP molecule is made up of a nucleotide base adenine attached to three phosphate groups.
Energy is contained in the bonds between the phosphates in an ATP molecule which is released when they are broken through the addition of water molecules a process called hydrolysis.
ATP powers cellular processes by transferring phosphates group in its structure to other molecules which releases energy required to drive the cellular activities.

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

Energy is released from ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) when high energy phosphoanhydride bond ( present between two phosphate) is broken down or hydrolyzed.

This results in the formation of ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and Pi ( inorganic phosphate).

Therefore, hydrolysis of ATP releases energy.

Olenka [21]

Answer: New growth is stricken with the blight before it has the chance to mature.

Explanation:

American Chestnut trees can indeed regrow from their roots but due to the devastating effect of the chestnut blight, they have been unable to do this since the blight spread across the country.

The blight was introduced when Chinese chestnut trees were imported into the U.S. in the 20th century. It killed off most of the chestnut trees in the U.S. and attacks the tree again when it grows to around 6 meters bringing it down to its roots. This is why the American Chestnut is considered endangered.
