Bones harden as they grow, and can potentially become more brittle as you age, not all infant bones are fused when they are born, hence why it can take until the age of 2 for the skull bones to become fully fused.

Describe the process of converting adenosine tri-phosphate (atp) into energy within the human body
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

ATP is able to power cellular processes by transferring a phosphate group to another molecule (a process called phosphorylation). This transfer is carried out by special enzymes that couple the release of energy from ATP to cellular activities that require energy. ATP is the immediately available source of energy for almost all bodily functions, including muscle contraction. It is formed when a phosphate group is added to ADP during phosphorylation, a process that requires a considerable amount of energy. ATP is also formed from the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of a cell. This can be through aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen, or anaerobic respiration, which does not. Aerobic respiration produces ATP (along with carbon dioxide and water) from glucose and oxygen. What are the 3 steps to energy exchange from ADP to ATP?
