Which of the following would ATP NOT be used for as energy? A. Osmosis
B. Healing a cut
C. Keeping warm
D. Push ups

Explanation:

ATP or adenosine triphosphate is used as energy in all living organisms. It is required for many processes to keep an organism alive. We are looking for the process that does not require ATP.

A. Osmosis

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. It is a type of passive transport, so there is no energy expenditure. ATP is not used, but we can check the other answer choices.

B. Healing a cut

Healing a cut requires transporting substances to the cut, inflammatory responses, and cell division to repair the cut. This does require ATP.

C. Keeping warm

To stay warm the body's blood vessels near the surface constrict so less heat is lost and the sweat glands are inactivated. This requires ATP.

D. Push ups

Push ups require many different muscles throughout the body and exercise requires lots of ATP.

The correct answer is Choice A. Osmosis.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."    

the answer is :
