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

Copying genetic information from dna into rna is called __________; using the information contained in mrna to make a polypeptid
Ket [755]
Genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription which involves the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA is read from 3' to 5' in direction and produces an mRNA (messenger RNA) which contains the genetic data from the DNA. This mRNA strand is further processed in the nucleus (capping and adding a poly-A tail) before being transported to the cytoplasm. 

The information contained in mRNA is used to make a polypeptide chain is called translation. This involves the use of ribosomes in the cytoplasm which attach themselves to the mRNA strand then using tRNA (transfer RNA) to add amino acids to the elongating polypeptide depending on the codon in the mRNA.
