Biology
1 answer:

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

What would be the mRNA complementary base sequence for a DNA strand that is: A  C G G T C<br>​
Alina [70]
It would be UGCCAG. This is because in mRNA, thymine is replaced by Uracil. That means the complementary base pairings are uracil and adenine (instead of thymine and adenine in DNA) and cytosine and guanine. So you need to change them to the other base in the pair. Meaning A (adenine) becomes the base it is paired with, being Uracil in this case and so on.
