Adenosine triphosphate (atp) is considered to be the energy currency of life. it is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do. atp can power needed reactions by losing one of its phosphorous groups to form adp, but you can use food energy in the mitochondria to convert the adp back to atp so that the energy is again available to do needed work. complete the activity to order the general steps of the atp-adp cycle in aerobic cellular respiration.

What is the main function of the central vacuole in a plant cell? a. absorbs energy from the sun to produce food b. holds water and maintains turgor pressure c. breaks down molecules to release energy d. contains the cell's genetic material

The starting materials in a nuclear change have a total mass of 2.3465 x 10-27 kg. after the change, the resulting materials have a mass of 2.3148 x 10-27 kg. how much energy was released during the change? 2.85 x 10-12 2.08 * 10-10 j 0 211 * 10-10 j 8.56 * 10-43

The hershey and chase experiments involved the preparation of two different types of radioactively labeled phage. which of the following best explains why two preparations were required? a. the bacteriophage used in the experiments was a t2 phage. b. it was necessary that each of the two phage components, dna and protein, be identifiable upon recovery at the end of the experiment. c. each scientist had his own method for labeling phage, so each conducted the same experiment using a different isotope. d. establishing the identity of the genetic material required observation of two phage generations.
