Answer/Explanation:

1) When phosphate is transferred from ATP, (which forms ADP and releases energy) it can phosphorylate another molecule. When this molecule is phosphorylated. It could become "energized" as it enters a higher energy state.

In this higher energy state, the protein has the energy to transfer molecules against a concentration gradient, which is an active process (requires energy).

2) Adenosine triphosphate contains three phosphate groups. The phosphate bonds are high energy. When ATP is hydrolyzed (water is added), these high energy phosphate bonds are broken and energy is released. This forms adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

1) When a protein molecule is phosphorylated, it becomes activated or powered and enables it transport molecules against their concentration gradient.

2) The bond that holds phosphate bonds in ATP gives it the ability to act as an energy currency.

ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE (ATP)

Adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ATP, is the means by which energy is stored and released in the cells of biological organisms. ATP is structurally made up of a ribose sugar, an Adenine base and three phosphate groups. The phosphate groups are held together by a bond called phosphoanhydride bond. ATP stores energy when one phosphate molecule is added to ADP while it releases energy when one phosphate group is broken. This latter process is called PHOSPHORYLATION. The ability of ATP to lose and accept phosphate group in its structure makes it perform the role of an energy currency in the cell.However, when a phosphate group is added to a molecule e.g. a transport protein, it is said to be phosphorylated. This means it will become activated or powered up to perform the task of transporting molecules against their concentration gradient.

earthquakes in florida are rare because the state is not located near any tectonic plates. in fact, florida is tied for first place as having the fewest earthquakes of any state. much of florida is limestone and seafloor materials that is not conducive to earthquakes.

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
