ATP hydrolysis is the lysis of the molecule mediated by water. It releases a phosphate group and energy. It is a reversible reaction. (a) Reversible ATP hydrolysis. (b) added energy on the left and released energy on the right.

------------------------

ATP is a significant molecule involved in many of the cellular metabolic routes. These metabolic processes can either form it or break it.

ATP provides energy to many different functions in the organism.

ATP means adenosine tri-phosphate. It is composed of adenosine (an adenine plus a ribose), and three phosphate groups.

Note: you can also find adenosine Diphosphate (two phosphates) and adenosine monophosphate (one phosphate).

Oxygens from the phosphate groups only have a single bond to phosphate (there are no hydrogen bonds).

These single bonds, known as phophoanhydrid bonds, have a negative charge and tend to repel each other, making the molecule unstable.

So phosphate groups repel each other, and a considerable amount of energy is applied to keep them united. So phophoanhydrid bonds are high energetic bonds.

The forces that keep the phosphate groups together accumulate potential energy.

If these bonds are broken, part of this potential energy would be released.

When talking about breaking the molecule, we are referring to ATP hydrolysis. And the released energy is used in different cellular processes that require energy.

ATP Hydrolysis is the molecule lysis mediated by a water molecule.

ATP + H₂O ⇄ ADP + Pi + Energy

Pi is the released inorganic phosphate group.

This is a reversible reaction, meaning that the ADP can go back to ATP.

ADP + Pi + Energy ⇄ ATP + H₂O

(a) What is this a model of?

This model represents the reversible ATP hydrolysis.

In the superior part of the image, we can see an ATP molecule composed of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups. The yellow star behind represents the accumulated energy.

When ATP hydrolysis, it loses a phosphate group and part of the energy that was keeping this group in the molecule.

An ADP is composed after hydrolysis. We can see this molecule in the inferior area of the image.

ADP molecule is composed of adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups.

Because hydrolysis is a reversible process, by adding a new phosphate inorganic group and energy, we can get a new ATP.

(b) Explain how you would change the model to make it correct?

What is wrong with this model is that instead of showing released energy during the hydrolysis process, it shows energy added to the reaction.

In the same way, instead of showing added energy to the reversible reaction, it shows released energy.

Added energy and released energy must be changed.

Added energy should be on the left
Released energy should be on the right

Types of experiments: Natural and manipulative

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

1. Natural

2. Natural

3. Natural

4. Manipulative

5. Manipulative

6. Manipulative

7. Natural

Explanation:

In a natural experiment, the researcher can specify that any proposed health implications could be due to exposure to the toxic chemical, but proving its direct causation is difficult. Natural experiments are majorly fixed to promoting correlation, unlike the manipulative experiments which usually strongly reveals causation.

Manipulative experiments changes the amounts of a predictor factor and estimates how one or more variables acts to these changes. It is employed in a test cause-and-effect. It cannot be used for large experimental scales as they are for small spatial scales experiments.

Natural experiments makes use of an observational study on natural variation in the variable of interest. It is used for large spatial and temporal scales without the need for manipulations but cannot be used for the direction of cause-and-effect.

Ivenika [448]

Streams that flow beneath melting glaciers leave long ridges of layered sediments, known as Esker. Eskers are formed within ice-walled tunnels by streams which flowed within and under glaciers. They tended to form around the time of the glacial maximum when the glacier was slow and sluggish and after the retaining ice walls melted away, stream deposits remained as long winding ridges.

How are key features of exponential functions determined and interpreted from a graph and table

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The graphs of all exponential functions have these characteristics. They all contain the point (0, 1), because a0 = 1. The x-axis is always an asymptote. They are decreasing if 0 < a < 1, and increasing if 1 < a

Explanation:

Graphs of Exponential Functions

The graph passes through the point (0,1)

The domain is all real numbers.

The range is y>0.

The graph is increasing.

The graph is asymptotic to the x-axis as x approaches negative infinity.

The graph increases without bound as x approaches positive infinity.

The graph is continuous.
