Answer:

The structure of ATP will need to be used.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is an energy rich compound which undergo hydrolysis in presence of water to generate free energy.

When a molecule is moving against its concentration gradient it requires the input of energy which is generally supplied by the hydrolysis of ATP molecules.

For example Na+K+ATPase uses the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to transport Na+ inside the cell and K+ outside the cell.

How are the testes and ovaries similar? A. Both produce sex cells. B. Both connect internal reproductive organs to the exterior.

Bess [88]

Ans.

Testes and ovaries are male and female reproductive organs, respectively. These organs are similiar as testes produce male gametes or sperms by the process of spermatogenesis and ovaries produce female gametes or ova by the process of oogenesis.

These gametes fuse together to form zygote that develops into a multicellular organism. Thus, the correct answer is 'option A). both produce sex cells.'

Flock X Flock Y Flock Z Total Pieces of Food Eaten 57 153 90 Food Percentage* % % % Simulated Number of Birds in Flock for 2nd G

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The percentage would be 19%, 51% and 30%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of food eaten by X = 57

Number of food eaten by Y = 153

Number of food eaten by Z = 90

Total number of food eaten = $57+153+90=300$

So, Food percentage of flock X = $\dfrac{57}{300}\times 100=19\%$

Food percentage of flock Y = $\dfrac{153}{300}\times 100=51\%$

Food percentage of flock Z = $\dfrac{90}{300}\times 100=30\%$

Hence, the percentage would be 19%, 51% and 30%.

Describe the processes of metabolism and photosynthesis

Pani-rosa [81]

Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation; photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrate. ... These nutrients are oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water, and to release chemical energy to drive the organism's metabolism.
