Answer:

C. Kinesin hydrolyzes ATP.

Explanation:

The central force-generating element that the two types of motor proteins (Kinesin and Myosin) have in common includes the site of ATP binding and the machinery necessary to translate ATP hydrolysis into an allosteric conformational change. Kinesin must use the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to force a large movement in part of the protein molecule. When kinesin forms a rigor-like tight association with the head location of the microtubule, the ATP is bound to the kinesin, and it is hydrolysis of ATP that promotes release of the motor from its track. Thus, myosins can typically drive filament sliding much more rapidly than kinesins, even though they hydrolyze ATP at comparable rates and take molecular steps of comparable length.

How do sieve tubes elements group to make sieve tubes

kumpel [21]

sieve tube elements are the cells of phloem which allow transportation of photosynthates through phloem...
how sieve tube elements form sieve tubes:
sieve tube elements are connected end to end and form a long chain which is called sieve tube,,,,
sieve tube elements are connected with the help of a side chain with the help of peptide bond...also one element has tapering end which easily overlaps with other end of next element to form sieve tube,,,,

Each ATP molecule contains about 1% of the amount of chemical energy available from the complete oxidation of a single glucose m

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

b. It is converted to heat.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process of energy transformation. During this process, the chemical energy present in the chemical bonds of glucose molecules is first stored in the form of NADH and FAD2. Then the same is used to drive the process of ATP synthesis during oxidative phosphorylation. Each process of energy transformation loses some of the energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The lost energy can not perform any function. Therefore, part of the energy of glucose is also lost in the form of heat as the process of cellular respiration follows the laws of thermodynamics.
