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
Answer: nitrogen base on the tRNA
Explanation:
Carbonate groups contain a single carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms in a trigonal molecular geometry. The carbon atom has two single bonds to two oxygen atoms and a double bond to the third oxygen atom. Therefore, in addition to carbon, carbonate minerals contain oxygen. An example of a carbonate mineral is calcium carbonate, often found within rocks.
