<span>. Estuaries have been called the "nurseries of the sea" because the protected environment and abundant food provide an ideal location for fish and shellfish to reproduce. Most commercially important fish species spend some part of their life cycle in estuaries. Besides fish, many species of birds depend on estuaries for food and nesting areas. Migratory birds use estuaries as stopover points for resting and feeding before continuing their journey. Marine mammals also use estuaries as feeding grounds and nurseries.</span>

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. The bond between the __________ (first, second, or third) phosphate group and the _______
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The bond between the _second_________ phosphate group and the third__phosphate group is a high energy bond.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate is a nucleotide with three phosphate groups.  The second and third phosphate groups are bonded by high energy covalent bonds to the rest of the ATP molecule, which consists of a sugar, which is ribose, the first phosphate group, and the nitrogenous base which is adenine. All of the phosphate groups are negatively charged and repel each other, so a high energy covalent bond is necessary to attach these phosphate groups together and keep the forces from pulling them apart.
