Can you copy the question and post it here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Students have been studying processes within plant and animal cells. Below is a picture of one of the organelles and one of the main processes it fulfills for the cells. What term would most appropriately be represented by the “X”?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok do you know what an organelles are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes part of a cell with a specific function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here im gonna post something tell me if this helps at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hah ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok whats Adenosine triphosphate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(ATP)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Adenosine 3 phosphate is an adenosine molecule with 3 phosphates attached at the end. It is the energy coin of the cell, energy is stored in this molecule much like money is in coins. When a phosphate is detached from ATP energy is freed and used for whatever it is needed for, and the ATP becomes ADP (Adenosine 2 phosphate).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically for a question like this if you don' t know the answer you just figure out what each of the choices mean and cancel out the answers you know are wrong until your left with just one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes you were right about the ATP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case I believe that the answer is glucose

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought the sugar is going into the mitochondrion, so it won't be glucose?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looking at the diagram, it shows the reactants of respiration going into the organelle and products of respiration going out. So I think X is ATP.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

possible, the picture is quite blurry for me i dont know why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was my first answer but I wasnt 100% sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is X pointing from the organelle or out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give it to W michelle i dont need it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't care about medals. X is pointing away from the organelle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see in that case this would make it ATP unless...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eh im not sure anymore i might of been thinking of glucose for my second answer because it consist of many carbohydrates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To my knowledge, mitochondria convert sugars into ATP, so I guess its not glucose coming out of the organelle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your correct. my mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No worries
