Answer:

A. Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation:

Molecule "a" shows the structure of ATP which stands for Adenosine triphosphate. ATP provides the energy that cells need to conduct the different processes within it.

Adenosine is made up adenine and ribose, which is attached to 3 phosphate groups, which you see there as the three circles with a P in it. These phosphate groups hold oxygen in them and they hold a lot of potential energy because of their negative charges.

<em>NOTE: If you take out one of these phosphate groups, you'll get the structure of molecule 'b'. So instead of "tri" which means three, you'll have a diphosphate because 2 will be left. </em>

Attached you'll see a labeled ATP molecule.

The overall objective of the Water Bodies of National Importance project is to ensure appropriate recognition and protection of nationally important values in the management of New Zealand's water bodies. Water bodies include lakes, rivers, groundwater aquifers and wetlands. As an initial step, methods were trialled to create separate lists of potential water bodies of national importance for irrigation, energy generation, tourism, recreation, industrial and domestic use, and natural heritage. In addition, a method has been developed to enable identification of potential water bodies of national importance for cultural and historic heritage.
