Describe the ADP molecule and its function within a cell.

Biology
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is formed by the removal of one phosphate from an ATP molecule by enzymes called ATPases. 
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is an organic molecule involved in the central part of the metabolism of the cell that generates energy. 
The interconversion of ATP and ADP takes place in various aspects of cellular metabolism. 
Another process in which ATP and ADP act together to supply energy is in the fast twitch of muscle cells. 
In mammals, ADP is involved in blood platelet activation, and is stored within platelets. 
A derivative of ADP is adenosine diphosphate ribose, in which the sugar ribose is linked to the final phosphate of ADP by an ester linkage.

Which of the following is/are true?
Softa [21]

Answer: Only Options A, C and E are correct

A) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population

C) Sympatric speciation does not require geographic isolation.

E) Sympatric speciation can be due to sexual(mate) selection

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is a random or naturally occurring event whereby organisms of the same species:

> live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e not living in isolation)

> DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory which results in an uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species of the parents organisms.

Como se mantienen unidos los puentes de hidrogeno​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Los puentes de Hidrógeno, se forman por átomos de Hidrógeno localizados entre átomos pequeños muy electronegativos, cuando un átomo de Hidrógeno está unido covalentemente, a un átomo electronegativo, Oxígeno, Nitrógeno o Flúor, el átomo con mayor electronegatividad atraerá hacia si los electrones del enlace, formándose

when measuring the blood pressure, the cuff is deflated until two consecutive beats are heard through the stethoscope. This meas
dem82 [27]

Answer: Systolic pressure.

Explanation:

Every time the heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries, which are vessels through which blood circulates from your heart to your tissues with the oxygen and nutrients they need. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries, and is highest when the heart beats, pumping blood, which is measured as systolic pressure (i.e., when the heart contracts). On the other hand, diastolic blood pressure refers to the pressure of blood in the artery when the heart relaxes between beats (i.e., when the heart relaxes). Since there are two types of pressures, blood pressure readings are given in two numbers, with the top number being the systolic pressure and the bottom number being the diastolic pressure.  

For example, if the systolic pressure measured in a person is 125 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the diastolic pressure is 85 mm Hg, the blood pressure is recorded as 125/85.  

So, <u>the systolic blood pressure is registered with the stethoscope when the cuff is deflated.</u> When two heartbeats are heard, the pressure gauge reading is recorded. <u>When the heartbeat ceases, the cuff pressure is released and the diastolic pressure is measured at this time.</u>
