The immediate source of energy that powers a cell’s activities is

1 answer:

5 0

1. The correct option is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE, ATP. ATP is the basic unit of energy transfer in the living cells. ATP is the principal energy source for metabolic functions, in the cells, ATP are consumed by endothermic metabolic reactions and they are produced by exothermic metabolic reactions.

2. To form ATP, A THIRD PHOSPHATE GROUP HAS TO BE ADDED TO ADP. ADP has two phosphate groups while ATP has three phosphate group. ADP is usulally converted to ATP by the addition of a single phosphate group.

3. ADP and ATP work together and the two can be interconverted. ATP can be hydrolysed to ADP and ADP can be converted to ATP by the addition of a single phosphate group. When energy is needed inside a cell, the ATP will split off one of its phosphate group and become ADP. This split off process produce a high qunatity of energy which is then available for the cell to use.

If a person looking at a poster sees green instead of yellow and doesn't see red at all, this person most likely has color blind

Inga [223]

People with protanopia are unable to sense any ‘red’ light, people with deuteranopia do not sense ‘green’ light and people with tritanopia cannot sense ‘blue’ light. If a person perceives the color green, then the yellow sensitive nerves must work somewhat effectively since green is a combination of yellow and blue. Red-sensitive nerves are most likely not responding properly for this person. The answer is C.

If measurements of a gas are 100L and 300 kilopascals and then the gas is measured a second time and found to be 75L, describe w

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The pressure of the gas increased (if temperature remained constant).

The Boyle's law supports this observation.

Explanation:

The initial measurements of the gas are given as;

volume = 100 L

Pressure = 300 kpa

The second measurement is given as;

Volume = 75 L

The second reading implies that the volume of the gas has decreased. If the temperature of the gas remained constant, then the pressure must have increased according to the Boyle's law;

At constant temperature, the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Helga [31]

Answer:

Plasmas of great interest to scientists or manufacturers as

Plasma is electrically charged gases that contain considerable charged particles that can change the behavior of the substance.

Current uses of plasmas:

First, it is used to make semiconductors for different types of electronic equipment

Secondly, they're used in making transmitters for high-temperature films.

Way scientists and engineers hope to use plasmas in the future:

The scientists are hoping to use plasma in the future to get rid of all hazardous wastes through a process called plasma gasification.
