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

How might a gene mutation be silent, with no observable effect on a cell or an organism? A. Codons are complementary to anticodo
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

D. Many amino acids are encoded by multiple codons. A gene mutation that encodes the same amino acid would have no observable effect on the cell or the organism

Explanation:

If gene mutation does not change code (gene still encodes for the same amino acid), the same protein with its function will be produced. This is called synonymous mutation.

Silent mutations might also occur when  codon is altered to produce an amino acid with similar function as previous (e.g. leucine to isoleucine) so that the function of protein is not significantly changed.
