How is an ADP molecule different from an ATP molecule?
Adenosine diphosphate or (ADP) is a compound that looks almost like ATP, except that it has two phosphate groups instead of three. This difference is the key to the way in which living things store energy. When a cell has energy available, it can store small amounts of it by adding a phospate group to ADP molecules, producing ATP.
List the key distinguishing feature of active transport proteins?
i dont not know so someone answer it soon please:(
Explain why ATP molecule splits?
ATP contains three phosphate groups. The third phosphate group (the outermost one) is called the alpha phosphate. The breaking of this phosphate bond is accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy which can be used to drive key steps in metabolic reactions. With the removal of alpha phosphate, the remainder molecule is ADP
What is a key characteristic of passive transport?
No energy is needed. Transportation costs no ATP
Which part of of a cell makes the food?
There are multiple parts in a cell that work together to break down the already partly processed food from the digestive system. Cells will break down nutrients (let's say; glucose) to generate ATP: a molecule which harnesses a great deal of energy in its chemical structure. All the 'work' a cell caries out requires energy in the form of ATP. So which parts of the cell play a role in ATP production? To be short: almost all of the cell. Glucose has to enter the cell trough the cel-membrane. It's transported across the cytosol. Glucose get's broken down by enzymes; these enzymes are in turn transcribed from the DNA in the nucleus. Waste products of glucose breakdown (normally water and carbondioxide) are transported out of the cell. ATP synthesis requires phosphate from the cytosol, ADP is also required. ATP synthesis takes place along the membrane of the membrane of mitochondria by forming a ion gradient...And there's so much more; it truly is a complex process. As you can see, all is interwoven. ATP, 'food', energy is what cells need to survive. It is a key task the whole cell participates in; key elements in ATP synthesis are the mitochondria and cytosol.
What is the key component of the energy molecule ATP?
The key component of the energy molecule, ATP is the ribose.
What key form of chemical energy is produced from respiration?
The adeylate molecule ATP is the primary source of energy from respiration.
What is the key feature of active transport?
The key feature of active transport proteins is that they can use chemical energy to move a substance against its concentration gradient. Most use energy from a molecule called ATP, either direvtly or indirectly.

How do carbohydrates provide energy for life functions in terms of ATP?
Carbohydrates are key in providing energy to cells. The energy from the food is converted to ATP which is then stored within the cells for use.

Which of the following statements about the role of ATP in cell metabolism is true?
The energy from the hydrolysis of ATP may be directly coupled to endergonic processes by the transfer of the phosphate group to another molecule. A key feature in the way cells manage their energy resources to do this work is energy coupling, the use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one. ATP is responsible for mediating most energy coupling in cells, and in most cases it acts as the immediate source of energy that powers cellular work.
What are organic compounds that are a key source of energy?
Adenoside triphosphate (ATP) is the provider of energy to all cells in your body. Many other biomolecules are used as a store of energy like fats, and carbohydrates like glycogen, but ultimately all energy is provided to the cell in a usable form by the ATP molecule.· Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipids, Nucleic acid.
What is a key characteristic of passive transport?
No energy is needed. Transportation costs no ATP
What is the substance that supplies energy to fuel cell activity?
ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is the key to cell activities.
What is crab's cycle in simple language?
I'm assuming you mean the Krebs Cycle which is one part of the process of respiration, in which ATP (the energy molecule) is harvested to be used by the body in key life processes. It is produced by the formation and break down of molecules in the cycle.
