Answer:
ATP or adenosine triphospahte releases energy by the cleavage of one or all of its phosphate to yield inorganic phosphates to drive cellular processes. Upon breakdown. ATP is converted to ADP, adenosine diphosphate or AMP, adenosine monophosphate by losing one or 2 of its phosphates.
Explanation:
ATP is the body's primary source of chemical and mechanical energy. ATP releases the stored chemical energy by a process called ATP hydrolysis when a proton (H+) attacks one of the phosphates of ATP.
ATP Hydrolysis:
ATP+H2O→ADP+Pi+free energy
- ADP can readily combine with and inorganic phosphate (Pi) to regenerate ATP.
Active transport uses energy such as plants taking in minerals while passive transport is opposite as it does not use energy.
Warm fronts cause several days of cloudy weather, while cold fronts cause heavy snow in the winter.
