What is the role of ATP when large molecules need to be transported across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient?

Biology

Answer:

b. the bond between the phosphate groups is broken to release energy

Explanation:

  • Phosphate groups are negatively charged => there is a pull between the two groups

=> it's easy to break this bond & ATP is unstable

=> ATP has a lot of free energy

  • breaking the bond between phosphate groups makes the molecules more stable (aka contains less free energy)

=> delta G <0

=> breaking this bond releases energy

  • the energy released by ATP is then used to transport large molecules against the concentration gradient

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?
Kruka [31]
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.

The ATP molecule can be considered a form of chemical energy because?
Wittaler [7]

Answer: The correct answer is A) It stores the energy from the glucose in the bonds between the phosphate groups.

ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is considered as a form of chemical energy as the energy is stored in the high energy phosphoanhydride bonds, which are present between phosphate.

Whenever a body requires energy, glucose is metabolized and produces ATP. The energy from glucose molecule is stored in the ATP.

When ATP is hydrolyzed, it is converted into ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate and the large amount of energy is released.
