Answer:

The amount of energy stored in a molecule of ATP compared to the amount stored in a molecule of glucose is <u>less</u>.

Explanation:

Both ATP and glucose are energy containing molecules. However, a molecule of glucose has about 90 times more energy than a molecule of ATP.

But, ATP is used by most cells as the quickest source of energy. This is because ATP can easily be broken down to generate energy and it transfers energy very effectively.

A molecule of ATP is made up of adenine and three phosphate groups. The bond between the second and third phosphate is broken down to generate energy.

Is a post oak tree is a autotrophic or heterotrophic

Tcecarenko [31]

All plants are autotrophic.

Autotrophic means he doesn't need another living thing to live(for eating) but that he makes his own food (photosynthesis). (auto means itself).

Heterotrophic means he needs others to keep on living. Like animals. All animals need to eat and can't make their own food with only sunlight, CO2 and water. They need food, which may be plants or other animals. That depends on the animal.

!!Help!! In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur and the recessive allele (f

tatiyna

Answer:

% GENOTYPE

FF = 0%

Ff = 50%

ff = 50%

% PHENOTYPE

Black fur = 50%

Grey fur = 60%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in dogs. The allele for grey fur (F) is dominant over the allele for black fur (f). This means that a heterozygous dog (Ff) will have a grey fur.

In this question, a heterozygous female (Ff) is said to cross with a recessive male (ff) i.e. Ff × ff. The following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Ff - F and f

ff - f and f

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic proportion of offsprings will be produced:

Ff - 1/2 = 50%

ff - 1/2 = 50%

Ff is phenotypically GREY while ff is phenotypically BLACK. This means that 50% of the offsprings will be black and 50% will be grey.
