ATP, an energy carrier molecule, is classified with nucleic acids.True or false​

Biology
1 answer:
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

ATP – or Adenosine Triphosphate – is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms on earth.  Microorganisms capture and store energy metabolized from food and light sources in the form of ATP.

When the cell requires energy, ATP is broken down through hydrolysis. The high energy bond is broken and a phosphoryl group is removed. The energy released from this process is used to drive various cellular processes. ATP is constantly formed and broken down as it participates in biological reactions and it is central to the health and growth of all life. Without it, cells could not transfer energy from one location to another, making it impossible for organisms to grow and reproduce.

ATP is a nucleotide that consists of three main structures: the nitrogenous base, adenine; the sugar, ribose; and a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose.

Explain how it is possible to have thousands of different protiens when there are only 20
solmaris [256]
This is possible because proteins are created from different combinations of amino-acids. While we only have 20 different kinds of aminoacids, these 20 kinds can create thousands of combinations that we can observe in our bodies and bodies of other mammals as well as other organisms.

Is facilitated diffusion passive or active
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Damian here!(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

so its basically passive

Hope this helps? :))
