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

Compare structure to function of organs in a variety of organisms
exis [7]
Body organs can be interrelated with other organisms since they are somehow morphologically and physiologically the same.

1. Brain, the brain for most animals are the same, serves the function the same and acts for the many functions of an organism, similarly. This vital organ plays on action-response behavior, management and primal survival instinct, although somehow it's different in structure from the other organisms.
2. Stomach, is an organ wherein the food that is taken in from mouth or opening of a cavity is stored for a short time and is prepared for digestion and metabolic process in the digestive tract or G.I. tract.

Many marine organisms depend on up welling to bring nutrients to the surface. How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life
svp [43]
During an El Nino, warm water gathers along the West coast of South America, so the nutrient rich water is no longer being upwelled. keeping in mind that cold water sinks and warm water rises, usually the warm water near coastal regions would not be full of nutrients compared to the cold water where the nutrients fall. therefore, more fish will be located or migrate to areas of this nutrient rich cold water instead. So, many fishermen would not have high yields of fish ultimately affecting their way of life and money. also a lot of these fish that remain at the surface would not be as healthy or nutrient rich.

hope that helps! :))
