Describe the ADP molecule and its function within a cell.

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.

The structural combination of DNA and protein forms ________. The structural combination of DNA and protein forms ________. RNA

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Chromatin

Explanation:

The DNA, which is the genetic material in virtually all living cells is found in a long chain of polynucleotides. This long nature of the DNA will prevent it from fitting into the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Hence, the cell devises a way to make this work by forming a structure called CHROMATIN.

Chromatin is formed when the long DNA molecule wraps around a set of proteins called HISTONE. Histones bind to the DNA molecule, which could are the core of the proteins to form a NUCLEOSOME structure. Each nucleosome is the basic unit of Chromatins. This nucleosome undergoes further coiling to form the CHROMATIN, which eventually forms the chromosomes the genetic material is transferred as in the nucleus.
