Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are;

A) 4 KJ

B) 122 KJ

C) 30.5 KJ

D) 1600 KJ

The answer is B, 122KJ

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of all living cells. It is the usable form of energy by cells for their life functions. Energy in ATP is harnessed via the hydrolysis of one of its phosphate molecules to form Adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The energy (measured in Kilojoules) needed by cells is released in this process.

In this case, a cell uses energy to pump hormones into the bloodstream. According to the question, 4 ATP's were used i.e. 4 ATP were converted to ADP. The hydrolysis of one ATP molecule releases 30.5 KJ/mol of energy needed for cellular work.

Hence, if 4 ATP were utilized by this particular cell, 4 × 30.5 KJ = 122 KJ of energy will be used by the cell to pump hormones.

Write a scientific explanation to describe the impact of the infected papaya trees on the toucan population.
seraphim [82]

The infected papaya trees will produce less carbohydrates or chemical energy for the toucan. If there were fewer carbohydrates within each papaya, the toucan's muscle cells would not be able to obtain as much chemical energy as they normally do. This chemical energy will be converted into mechanical energy or heat flow, which the toucan uses to fly.

Therefore, the lower amount of mechanical energy and heat flow from the muscle contractions, it would result into a reduced amount of kinetic energy of motion when the toucan is flying.

What muscle is responsible for contraction of the urinary bladder during micturition?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Detrusor & Urethra
