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

In the reaction ______ H2 + N2 ----&gt; 2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?
schepotkina [342]

2NH3 is equivalent to N2 + H6 since the 2 at the beginning gets distributed to both atoms. Knowing this you can rewite the equation as

H2 + N2 = H6 + N2

The N2 can cancel out leaving

H2 = H6

You now have to ask ‘2 times what equals 6?’ The answer is obviously 3 at this point.

Watson and Crick first built a triple-helix model of DNA. In this model, the nitrogenous bases were on the outside of the DNA mo
Sedaia [141]

Because it makes accessing them easier for the cell, it is assumed that the bases will be on the outside of the DNA molecule.

<h3>What is DNA molecule?</h3>
  • Because the two DNA strands are made up of simpler monomeric units termed nucleotides, they are referred to as polynucleotides.
  • Each nucleotide is made up of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of the four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A], or thymine [T]).
  • An alternating sugar-phosphate backbone is created when the nucleotides are linked together in a chain by covalent connections (also referred to as the phospho-diester linkage) between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next.
  • To create double-stranded DNA, the nitrogenous bases of the two distinct polynucleotide strands are joined by hydrogen bonds in accordance with the base pairing principles (A with T and C with G). Pyrimidines and purines make up the two families of complimentary nitrogenous bases.
