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.

Trophic level: the feeding level of an organism in a food web or chain. Food web: a diagram showing a series of interconnected food chains and the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Food chain: a diagram showing the flow of energy from one trophic level to the next. E.g. Consumer or decomposed Consumer: an organism which feeds on other organisms to obtain its nutritional requirements (part of a food web/chain). Producer: an organism capable of trapping the suns energy and converting it to sugar in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore the term food web is the term used to include all of the above.

arsen [322]
They would not have the same shape because they would basically be the same as that particular vitamin. If a vitamin was the same shape as c then it would be vitamin c. Therefore, they would not be the same shape.
