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.
<h3>ATP</h3>
  • 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.

Somebody knows the answer to this
KiRa [710]
Typically when we think about extreme weather, we think about the effect of weather on humans and other life forms. However, weather events also greatly impact non-living things. Freeze and thaw cycles tend to break up rocks, weathering them physically. Landscape erosion can be greatly enhanced by storms because rivers and streams are able to transport larger amounts and larger sizes of material than they otherwise would, due to faster flow velocities. Sand at beaches is carried away by strong storms until it can be replenished over time. Sediments become hydrated during rainfall events, which can result in landslides and land movement. Many of these processes can create hazards for humans, but the physical landscape is very much shaped by extreme weather events. Weather is weather, which is nonliving. Erosion is affected by weather, the more rain there is, the more erosion. The more temperatures change, the more erosion because things swell as they warm up and shrink as they cool off, which can cause them to break.


Hurricane affects come from both wind and water impacts. Wind and waves break coral, damaging it or forcing it on shore and disrupting the ocean ecosystem. Fish and benthic organisms face turbulent conditions due to waves and wind. ... Winds dislocate sea and migratory birds caught in the eye of the storm.


Some examples of non-living things include rocks, water, weather, climate, and natural events such as rockfalls or earthquakes. Living things are defined by a set of characteristics including the ability to reproduce, grow, move, breathe, adapt or respond to their environment. Extreme heat causes lakes and rivers to dry up. Some kinds of earth can also dry up so much that it gets cracked.

Extreme rainfall causes floods and landslides.

Extreme cold can cause rocks to break, when the water that leaked into cracks in the rock freezes and expands.

If I knew more about the water cycle, I might be able to tell you more about how extreme weather affects clouds and other parts of the water cycle.

Which of the following is a factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation, or conduction velocity, along an axon?a) len
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

c) degree of myelination of the axon

Explanation:

The myelin sheath covers many axons in central nervous system (CNS) ( by oligodendrocytes) and in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) (by Schwann cells). Their function is to insulate axons and to increase the speed at which information travels from one nerve cell to another.

Nerve conduction velocity is specific to each individual and depend on the level to which that axon is myelinated, but also on  an axon's diameter.
