Answer:

1) ATP (adenosine triphosphate) can be hydrolyzed such that it loses a phosphate group to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This is called ATP hydrolysis. This property allows ATP to act as energy currency because ATP hydrolysis releases the energy stored in the high energy phosphate bond.

2) Transporting molecules against their concentration gradient requires energy. When ATP loses its phosphate group, it can phosphorylate another molecule. This converts the molecule into its active state, giving that molecule the energy to pass through against the concentration gradient.

Hope this helps you :)

one part of paint thinner is used to create 5 parts of paint mixture a painter has 12 ounces of paint how many ounces of thinner
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

In order to use all the paint in a paint mixture in the same ratio of 1:5, the painter needs 2.4 ounces of paint thinner

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of parts of thinner used to create 5 parts of paint mixture = 1 part

The amount of paint the painter has = 12 ounces

The amount of thinner is given by the relation;

Ratio of thinner to paint mixture = 1:5

Which gives, 1 part of thinner is required for 5 parts of paint mixture

1/5 parts of thinner is required for 1 part of paint mixture

Therefore, 12/5 or 2.4 parts of thinner will be required for 12 parts of paint mixture

Which gives;

2.4 ounces of thinner will be required for 12 ounces of paint mixture

Therefore, in order to use all the paint in a paint mixture in the same ratio of 1:5, the painter needs 2.4 ounces of thinner.
