Answer:

a. ATP

Explanation:

It is ATP which is used for energy in body. An ATP molecule has three components a sugar to which a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group is attached. There are three inorganic phosphorus atoms in the phosphate group and it is in the bonds of these inorganic phosphates high energy is stored. When these bonds break, energy is liberated which we use in our day to day activities.

As such NADH and NADPH molecules are also high energy molecules but we cannot use their energy directly. They have to be first converted into ATP and only then we can use their energy. Glucose is a sugar which has chemical energy stored in it but we cannot directly use the energy of glucose either. It is only when glucose is broken down through cellular respiration we obtain these high energy molecules NADH, NADPH and ATP. In short, glucose is the source of these molecules.

<span>Here is an essay I wrote on renewable energy feel free to use some of it:
</span><span>Solar power:1. The definition of solar power is power obtained by harnessing the energy of the sun's rays.2. Using solar power can be better for the environment than coal. It is local.3. Solar power can be very expensive. There isn’t always sun, so we can not always get power from this resource.4. Solar power plants take up land often resulting in habitat loss, and some use hazardous materials in making solar power panels.5. Using this resource is better for the environment than using coal, but since there isn’t always sun, we can not always get power from this resource.6. Solar power cost more to create and to use than coal does.
7. Photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) are used to collect energy from the sun.
8. The sun hits the solar panels and generates DC electricity. The energy then goes into a solar inverter that turns the DC energy into AC energy, which is then used to power things.
9. Two potential hazards in using this resource are the materials used to make it, and habitat loss.
10. If solar power were our primary way of getting electricity a lot of land would be taken up by the solar power plants, resulting in the loss of a lot of animal habitats. Also, the sun isn’t out 24/7, so we can not always get power from this resource.<span>
</span></span><span>Since I believe that our country is already headed in this direction anyway, I would suggest that we invest in the use of more renewable resources. I would suggest that we use geothermal as our main way to get our hot water for our homes, hydropower for electricity in states with an abundant water supply, and the combination of wind and solar power for electricity as well. I think we would have cleaner air and it would be more efficient. Both renewable and non-renewable have their pros and cons, and I personally believe that in this day and age we would have a hard time functioning without both of them. But I do think that using more renewable resources would be a good investment.</span>

marshall27 [118]
The answer would be: It would have no effect, because tyrosine is also available from the diet

The pathway is different, alkaptonuria increased tyrosine is caused by decreased usage. In phenylketonuria, it is caused by increased production. While tyrosine is increased in phenylketonuria patient, it won't cause alkaptonuria because tyrosine could be found in the diet.
