1) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is thought of as the "molecular currency" for energy transfer within the cell. Function: ATPs are used as the main energy source for metabolic functions. They are consumed by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and produced by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes in the cell and Cells store energy in the form of ATP; cells make 36 ATP through cellular respiration.
2) Energy is normally stored long term as carbohydrate, in plants the storage polymer is starch whereas in animals the storage polymer is glycogen. Both of these are formed from the monomer alpha-glucose (C6H12O6). When energy is required by the cell, storage polymers are hydrolysed to yield glucose molecules, which are the starting point of respiration, a series of chemical regions yielding ATP, the universal cellular energy release molecule.
This answer should be A !
Answer:
The question is incomplete as there are no options, the options are:
What would be the next step in this experiment?
A. construct a hypothesis and record data
B. make observations and draw a conclusion
C. ask questions and construct a hypothesis
D. analyze the results and make a conclusion
The answer is D
Explanation:
According to this question, a student performs an experiment where she places apple fruit on one location and places apple and banana together in another location. She follows the steps of the scientific method in performing this experiment.
The steps involved in the scientific method include:
- Making an observation
- Constructing an hypothesis
- Testing the hypothesis (experimentation)
- Analyse the result
- Draw a conclusion
The student in this question has already made the observation that when bananas are kept near other fruits, the other fruits ripen faster. She has hypothesized that bananas must have an influence on the ripening process. She tests the hypothesis via an experiment described above. Hence, the next step is to ANALYZE THE RESULTS she will get after 5 days and DRAW A CONCLUSION based on that.
