Answer:

A) primary ossification center

Explanation:

Endochondral ossification refers to the gradual replacement of a cartilage model with a bone. The primary ossification center represents the region where bone tissue gradually replaces most of the cartilage model. The deposition of the bone extracellular matrix over the remnants of calcified cartilage is done by osteoblasts. It results in the formation of spongy bone trabeculae. Primary ossification spreads from the central location toward both ends of the cartilage model.

What is the role of ATP when large molecules need to be transported across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

b. the bond between the phosphate groups is broken to release energy

Explanation:

  • Phosphate groups are negatively charged => there is a pull between the two groups

=> it's easy to break this bond & ATP is unstable

=> ATP has a lot of free energy

  • breaking the bond between phosphate groups makes the molecules more stable (aka contains less free energy)

=> delta G <0

=> breaking this bond releases energy

  • the energy released by ATP is then used to transport large molecules against the concentration gradient
