Answer:

A

Explanation:

The structure of ATP is such that there are three (3) phosphate moelcules in sequence attached to the 5’ carbon of the ribose sugar ring. The O- groups of each phosphate are close to each other and are negatively charged. They, therefore, repel each ohtehr electrostatically and make ATP very unstable – hence considered weak bonds. ADP is more stable than ATP.  Nonetheless, phosphoanhydride bonds between the phosphate have high energy of ΔG of -30.5 kJ/mol. These characteristic make ATP ideal as ane energy currency since it is easy to hydrolyze while producing much energy.

Equilibrium.
diffusion occurs due to differences in concentration of substances in different regions. then substances will naturally spread out (due to innate Brownian kinetic energy). the spreading I. e. diffusion will stop until equilibrium is achieved.
note: those substance particles are still moving due to the innate Brownian kinetic energies!

A distention of the renal pelvis due to urine collecting in the kidney is
Solnce55 [7]
The correct answer is hydronephrosis. Distention means being enlarged or swollen due to internal pressure. In this case, the internal pressure would be urine collecting in the kidney. This occurs when the urine is unable to drain from the kidney to the bladder due to an obstruction. Contrary to common belief, hydronephrosis is not a disease itself, but is instead is the result of a disease.
