What is occurring in this equation? ATP + H2O --> ADP + Pi + energy

Biology
1 answer:
Triss [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

ATP hydrolysis

Explanation:

ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic process whereby an Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule is broken down by the addition of water to form ADP, inorganic phosphate (Pi) and a release of energy. ATP is an high energy storing molecule in living cells. The stored energy is released when it undergoes hydrolysis.

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + energy

From the above reaction, energy once stored in ATP is now available for use. This reaction is hence, called HYDROLYSIS because it involves break down of ATP with the aid of water molecule.

1. Define fitness as it used to describe adaptation
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

In terms of adaptation, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in a constantly changing environment.

Adaptive traits are very much important in a constantly changing environment as they increase the chances of survival of a population in the environment.

For example, Darwin's finches adapted to develop different types of beaks in order to get nutrition in different environments. Long necks of giraffes are also considered as a result of adaptation which helps them get the food located high on trees.

Why might it be beneficial for each firefly species to have its own unique light pattern?
AVprozaik [17]
<span>Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction. Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured natural selection).    </span>
