Why do cells use fat and starch for long-term energy storage instead of ATP molecules?

Cells use fat and starch for long term energy storage instead of ATP molecules because it is hard to breakdown fat in a very short time while ATP can be broken down in a very short time. ATP is mainly used while doing short bursts of exercises. Fats have a very strong bond of molecular chains and this makes it hard to breakdown quickly.

How many oxygen atoms does ozone consist of?
lara31 [8.8K]
3 atoms (O3) Ozone is the triatomic form of oxygen. Oxygen isn’t the only thing we breathe, we also breathe nitrogen and a whole bunch of other gases. The difference between oxygen and ozone is ozone is o3 meaning it has 3 oxygen atoms instead of just one. I really hope this helped!

What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

To produce energy in form of ATP

Explanation:

The thylakoid membrane harbors photosystems that will receive light photons, ejecting electrons from a main chlorophyl molecule in a reaction center, to other acceptors.  These electrons will reach the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, and subsequently, to produce ATP.  Later on these electrons will reach the other photosystem, to produce reducing power.  This is in plants.

Cyclic photosystems also exist, in some bacteria, for example,  and only produce energy as ATP.  They also have an electron transport chain.

What do you already know about conservation? Think about wildlife and the environment
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Wildlife is living organisms, like plants and animals that live anywhere in the world that they are not isolated in a certain area.

Explanation:

Each wildlife creature lives in an ecosystem that their bodies can tolerate and be able to survive in.

  • Penguin´s bodies are adapted to keep them warm in Antarctica, if they are in warm climates they would overheat.
  • Cold-blooded animals like iguanas cannot live in cold climates because their body temperature would be according to what they feel, so living in cold climates would cause them to die from hypothermia.

Hope it helps:)
