How does ATP provide energy to your body?

Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADT). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent.

ATP contains chemical potential energy that will snuggle up to a metabolic reaction in your cells---like the contraction of muscles or sending electrical messages along your nerve cells---- and release the energy of the bonds that hold the third phosphate molecule to the the rest of the ATP(called ADP)
ATP is able to move aroun d in the cytoplasm and deliver the energy to whereever it's needed...likewise it has to pick up this energy from the breakdown of the energy laden nutrients in your food---like glucose, starches, and fats. these large nutrient molcules are unable to move around and interact with energy requiring metabolic processes and transfer their energy---thye need the energy intermediate molecule, the ATP.

Answer:

Differences in temperature or precipitation determine the types of plants that grow in a given area (Figure 1). Generally speaking, height, density, and species diversity decreases from warm, wet climates to cool, dry climates. Raunkiaer (1934) classified plant life forms based on traits that varied with climate.

How does natural selection or human evolution affect disease susceptbility

devlian [24]

<span>Investigations of the legacy of natural selection in the human genome have proved particularly informative, pinpointing functionally important regions that have participated in our genetic adaptation to the environment. Furthermore, genetic dissection of the intensity and type of selection acting on human genes can be used to predict involvement in different forms and severities of human diseases.</span>

Answer:

Myelin sheath

Explanation:

Myelin sheath cover the axon of neurons and act as insulator for the faster transmission of signals.

Each axon is covered by multiple myelin sheaths and the gap between myelin sheath are known as Nodes of Ranvier.

In CNS myelin sheath is composed of glial cell called as oligodendrocytes and in PNS the myelin sheath is composed of Sachwann cells (glial cells).

Explain the electron transfer chain

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The electron transport chain is a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane to create a gradient of protons that creates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or energy that is needed in metabolic processes for cellular function.
