Answer:

Her Thinking is wrong because ATP is not a long term Energy Storage.

Explanation:

We need energy to perform every single task of everyday life. This energy is obtained from the food we eat. There are three main sources of energy in our food.

1. Carbohydrates

2. Lipids

3. Proteins

Carbohydrates are hydrolyzed into glucose upon breakdown and this glucose  is used as energy by most of the cells. While Lipids are more complex molecules and usually used to store energy to be used later. Proteins help in muscle building and provide essential amino acid to the body.

There are two ways to store energy, Long term storage and short term storage. The ATP is obtained by breaking down the large molecules and considered as short term energy as it last for only few seconds. While the long term energy is obtained from lipids hydrolysis.

I really need help w this question. There is more than one right answer.

Let's refer to the statements as A through F.

A. The diagram shows the ocean absorbing "90" and releasing "88". That means the ocean absorbs more than it releases (90 > 88), so acts as a "sink", a place where carbon is stored. (TRUE)

B. The dashed red arrow on the right labeled Fossil Fuel Combustion shows a transfer of carbon into the Atmosphere. (TRUE)

C. The diagram shows "Primary Production and Respiration" as coming from "Vegetation and Soils", so animals are not the sole contributors of CO₂ from respiration. (FALSE)

D. The blue arrows show exchange of atomospheric CO₂ with oceans and land. (TRUE)

E. While "Changing Land Use" contributes a net decrease of atmospheric CO₂, that is more than balanced by "Combustion and Industrial Processes." The net "Anthropogenic flux" appears to be positive into the Atmosphere. (FALSE)

F. The blue arrow into Vegetation and Soils is 120, the blue arrow out is 119, so soils take in more CO₂ by natural processes than they release. Likewise, "Changing Land Use" contributes a net increase in CO₂ in the soils and vegetation. Hence, soils do take in more than they release. (TRUE)
