Chemistry

Answer:

Energetic molecules are formed, or rather the energetic currency to be able to live, which we call ATP.

Explanation:

ATP is a molecule that arises from the degradation of carbohydrates, these are destroyed for the first time in the mouth by the enzyme salivary amylase, then by the stomach, and finally they are absorbed in the intestine in the form of glucose, this glucose enters the bloodstream, entering the cells through insulin.

Once glucose is entered into the cell, it completes an energetic cycle, called the krebs cycle, which provides 36 to 38 ATP.

Atp, is adenosine tri phosphate, phosphate bonds protect a lot of energy, this is how the body generates the following reaction when it needs energy, releasing energy to the environment to be able to produce from locomotion to respiration:

ATP -----> ADP + Pi

What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)

What is the volume of an irregular object if the initial volume in the graduated cylinder is 3.50 ml and it rises to 7.50 ml aft
Margarita [4]
Answer is: the volume of an irregular object is 4,00 ml.
<span>Volume is the amount of space the object occupies and can be finded immersing it in water in a container with volume markings and than see how much the level of the container changes (goes up). 
</span>V(irregular object) = V(final volume) - V(initial volume).
V(irregular object) = 7,50 ml - 3,50 ml.
V(irregular object) = 4,00 ml.
