Answer:

The reaction that converts a lower-energy molecule into a higher-energy molecule is ADP + P + energy.

Explanation:

ATP is the molecule that provides energy to the cell. It possesses three phosphate groups, each of which is bound by high-energy bonds and the separation of a phosphate by hydrolysis of ATP is strongly exergonic. The energy released is used by the cell to perform its functions.

In order to form an ATP molecule, ADP is required to bind to a phosphate group, a process that requires energy to establish the P-O-P bond, so the reaction, which is reversible, would be:

ATP + H₂O ⇄ ADP + Pi + ↑energy

This is what allows to convert a lower-energy molecule into a higher-energy molecule and permits an ATP molecule to become the energy exchanger of living organisms.

What is H5N1? What is the concern about H5N1? What is a super virus?

olchik [2.2K]

Known as the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, or more commonly known as the Avian Flu/Bird Flu, H5N1 is enzootic (maintained within a population) globally in many bird populations. According to recent word from the World Health Organization, as well as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, H5N1 pathogenicity is gradually continuing to rise in endemic areas. However farmed birds are held in check by vaccination, and thus far there is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 virus. The number of worldwide outbreaks being reported are steadily decreasing.

Describe the transformation of energy that occurs during photosynthesis.

Doss [256]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, in small structures called chloroplasts. The glucose made in photosynthesis is then used during cellular respiration.

Summarize the water cycle

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. ... The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

I think these will be the fat soluble vitamins .....the A,D,E,K

Explanation:

The liver stores vitamin A, D, E, K and B12. The first four of these are all fat soluble. This means that the bile secreted during digestion is essential for absorbing them so that the body can use them. If bile production is compromised by liver damage, the proper absorption of these vitamins may be affected.
