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

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Taproot systems feature a single, thick primary root, called the taproot, with smaller secondary roots growing out from the sides. The taproot may penetrate as many as 60 meters (almost 200 feet) below the ground surface. It can plumb very deep water sources and store a lot of food to help the plant survive drought and other environmental extremes. The taproot also anchors the plant very securely in the ground.

Fibrous root systems have many small branching roots, called fibrous roots, but no large primary root. The huge number of threadlike roots increases the surface area for absorption of water and minerals, but fibrous roots anchor the plant less securely
