How are atp and adp used in energy transfer within a cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a biological molecule with a ribose sugar, Adenine (nitrogenous base) and phosphate component. It is the major storage molecule of energy in living cells as cells can only make use of energy in the ATP form. This energy is released when needed by cells, by breaking the bonds that hold one of the phosphate groups.

The ATP molecule loses one phosphate group, making energy readily available for the target cell or pathway. The ATP becomes an Adenine diphosphate (ADP) molecule in the process.

In turn, if energy is needed to be stored, an inorganic phosphate is added to ADP to form ATP catalyzed by a synthetase enzyy.

Which of the following is likely to form the greatest number of bonds?
balandron [24]

Answer is Nitrogen, atomic number 7

The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. Hence, the number of electrons in the nitrogen atom is 7. In the nitrogen, valance electrons are 3 in number in 2P orbital. Its valency is 3. Therefore, it can make three bonds with other elements which is highest among the given options.

An amoeba uses a sugar molecule during metabolic activity. It loses energy to the environment as a result. The transformation of
34kurt

Answer:

Option B, chemical energy to thermal energy

Explanation:

All living organism feed on food that contains energy in the form of chemical energy. Once the food is intake and processed for fulfilling energy requirement of all metabolic processes with in a cell, the remaining energy is released as heat (thermal energy). Thus, an amoeba while consuming a sugar molecule converts chemical energy with in the sugar to thermal energy in the form of energy molecules.

Hence, option B is correct

If an adult dog has 78 chromosomes the number of chromosomes in a dogs sperm cell will be
Sergio039 [100]

39

Reproductive cells are haploid (have 1/2 the chromosomes), whereas somatic/body cells are diploid (have the full set of chromosomes)

This makes sense if you think about it. Using the example from the question, every dog has 78 chromosomes. This includes two of each (there are two chromosome 1's, two chromosome 2's, etc. This is visible in the karyotype attached). One set of these chromosomes were inherited from the mother, and one set from the father. Each parent contributed 39 chromosomes (one chromosome 1, one chromosome 2, etc.). If the dog in the question were to have 78 chromosomes in its sperm cells, it would contribute two sets to its offspring. When combined with the chromosomes in the egg cell, the offspring would end up with extra chromosomes. Therefore, both the sperm and the egg cells will have 39 chromosomes, one of each. When combined, they will produce offspring with 78 chromosomes, the proper number.

Give an example (except for a plant responding to light) of an organism's response to a stimulus.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

plants For example, phototropism is the plant's response to stimulus, i.e. sunlight. A plant hormone “auxin” keeps the plant's direction towards the sun by activating the growth in a particular part of a stem. Similarly, gravitropism in plants responds to the stimulus, i.e. gravity
