Phosphagens are a group of molecules that includes creatine phosphate (in vertebrates), and arginine phosphate, lombricine, and

phosphoopheline (in invertebrates). These molecules have similar functions in different organisms.
What function do these molecules have in common?

Answer:

Phosphagen provides the needed energy for the muscle tissues which can not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation. They supply immediate but limited energy as sudden demands for lots of energy by the muscle tissues arise.

Explanation:

Phosphagens are high energy storage compounds majorly found in muscular tissue of animals.

They allow maintenance of the high energy phosphate stores in its normal concentration ranges which discard the problems associated with ATP-consuming reactions in these tissues as against the presence of adenosine triphosphate.

The muscle tissues are actively working and need constant supply of energy and the energy produced by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation might not sum up to the needs of the tissues. So therefore, phosphagens serve as a stand by mechanism for energy production for the tissues mostly during sustained muscle activity.

The man, the muscle cells' phosphocreatinine concentration is more than three times the concentration of ATP and represent a ready reserve of high energy phosphate that can be donated directly to Adenosine diphosohate to release energy.

Different organisms use different biomolecule as a phosphagen. Majority of animals use arginine as their phosphagen, chordates use creatinine, annelids use lombricine.

They all perform these similar functions described above.

Calculate the frequency of radiation with a wavelength of 1.08 x 10^-6 m. simple explanation please​
pishuonlain [190]
C = vf
c stands for the speed of waves (which is a constant that is 3 x 10^8)
v stands for the wavelength (which is given)
f stands for frequency (what we are solving for)
3 x 10^8 = (1.08 x 10^-6)f
Divide both sides by the given wavelength
f = 2.78 * 10^14 seconds

Which is the anode and which is the cathode?
rewona [7]

Answer:

2l- ---> l2 + 2e- is the anode

2H+ + 2e- ---> H2(g) is the cathode

Explanation:

Oxidation occurs when a metal loses two or more electrons in a redox chemical reaction and reduction is when it gains. Thus, oxidation is the anode and reduction is the cathode.

Which of the following is a factor in natural selection?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Although all of these answers are similar, it seems that all three are the answer. I am sorry if the answer ends up being B but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. Charles Darwin's evolution theory "evolved", get it, from the natural selection theory. The theory is described as "the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring." However, some factors that effect natural selection are competition, selection and variation. I believe all three fit the answer and therefore I believe answer D is correct.
