Which is a key component of the energy molecule ATP?

Biology
1 answer:
FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is phosphorous but occurs in the form of a phosphate. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. 

ATP is composed of three components.  At the center of the molecule is found ribose, a sugar molecule which is the very same sugar that forms part of RNA. To one side of ribose is attached a base known as adenine. This base belongs to a group of molecules made of linked rings of both carbon and nitrogen atoms.

To the other side of ribose is attached a string of phosphate groups which are key to the energy carrying activities of ATP.

Explain what the greenhouse effect is and give an example of something it is similar to?
TiliK225 [7]

The greenhouse effect is the trapping of a stars warmth in the lower atmosphere of a planet by gasses in the air trapping the energy. This is similar to what actual greenhouses do, where they trap the warmth and humidity of the air inside it so plants can flourish. Farm animals produce a huge amount of the greenhouse gasses required for our planet to trap the suns warmth.

How do veins keep blood moving
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The return of blood to the heart is assisted by the action of the skeletal- muscle pump. As muscles move, they squeeze the veins running through them. Veins contain a series of one-way valves, and they are squeezed, blood is pushed through the valves, which then close to prevent backflow.

Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach
leva [86]

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.
