1) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is thought of as the "molecular currency" for energy transfer within the cell. Function: ATPs are used as the main energy source for metabolic functions. They are consumed by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and produced by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes in the cell and Cells store energy in the form of ATP; cells make 36 ATP through cellular respiration.
2) Energy is normally stored long term as carbohydrate, in plants the storage polymer is starch whereas in animals the storage polymer is glycogen. Both of these are formed from the monomer alpha-glucose (C6H12O6). When energy is required by the cell, storage polymers are hydrolysed to yield glucose molecules, which are the starting point of respiration, a series of chemical regions yielding ATP, the universal cellular energy release molecule.
Environments likely to be characterized by the presence of dry scrubs and frequent wildfires are those that lack the presence of rain and suffer high sunlight hours.
When referring to the terrestrial biomes that meet the characteristics described, we can include:
- <u>Temperate grasslands</u>
- <u>Cold deserts</u>
The temperate grassland/cold desert biomes have:
- cold and dry winters
- hot, dry summers
- Extended sunlight hours
This biome is very dry, and the harsh weather makes it difficult for plants to grow, leading to their <em>dry scrub</em> characteristic. This biome also experiences frequent wildfires due to the <u>intense sunlight and lack of rain to which it is exposed.</u>

Its called osmosis and it only happens with water. now I'm just adding words to be able to post this. its moving down the concentration gradient.
