Answer:

The ATP molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. In this form, energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.

In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP. ... When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work.

Answer:

3/8

Explanation:

Martha has a widow's peak (dominant trait) and attached earlobes (recessive trait).

Martha's dad had a straight hairline (ww) and unattached earlobes (Ee, because she has the recessive alleles ee and both parents give us one allele).

This tells you that martha has a mother with at least one of both alleles dominant for widow peak and at least one recesive allele of attached earlobes

So, martha's alleles are: Ww and ee.

If she marries a man that is heterozygous for both traits (Ww and Ee) the probabilitys are

Ww Ee x Ww ee: WWEe, WwEe, wWee, and wwee

How does rough ER from smooth ER?

irinina [24]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum differ from smooth endoplasmic reticulum by the presence and absence of ribosomes in their surface.

Explanation:

Rough endoplasmic is named so because RER contain ribosomes at their surface and due to the presence of ribosomes rough endoplasmic reticulum play an importnt role in protein synthesis or translation.

Whereas smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not contain any ribosome in its surface.smooth endoplasmic reticulum helps in the biosynthesis of lipid and steroids along with detoxification of toxic compounds.

I need help with biology Asap!!!!

jarptica [38.1K]

I think its C... but I'm not too sure. I did some research and couldn't find exactly what you were looking for but, I found loopholes and I think since when the cell increases, the surface area does not affect cell divisions steps. Therefore, I don't think it would change any other way...
