Explain how ATP stores and releases energy

Biology
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
4 0

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.

The value of photosynthetically active radiation above which no further increase in photosynthesis occurs is referred to as:
makkiz [27]
The right answer is <span>the light saturation point.

More light usually results in higher photosynthesis levels. However, with the increase of the intensity of the light, the photosynthesis rate eventually reaches a maximum point. This point is called "luminous saturation point".

When this point is reached, the intensity of the light does not increase the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of photosynthesis curve ceases to increase.

What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
During cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere during the formation of acetyl coenzyme A<span>. This step involves the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid, the result of which is carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is uptaken by plants and used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose.</span>

If Harry's negligent act injures Sally, and Susan, while attempting to come to Sally's aid breaks her arm in the process then, H
kumpel [21]

Answer: Sally

If Harry's negligent act injures Sally, and Susan, while attempting to come to Sally's aid breaks her arm in the process then, Harry is liable for the harm to Sally.

Explanation:

As a mathematical expression, we can say the action of Harry H, is directly proportional to the injury to Sally S; while the mistake of Susan N is directly proportional to injury to Sally S.

So, if H = S and N = S, it is safe to say

H = N = S.

Thus, Harry negligence create room for Susan mistake, which eventually harmed Sally.
