Question

Check my answer?
Do your cells use food to directly power their various functions? Explain your answer.

Food going through your body is a long process so it takes a while to actually get the energy from the food.

I mean unless you can explain to me what ATP and ADP are because I've read my lesson millions of times and do not understand a thing

Answer 10

Okay Hold on.....

Answer 11

Okay

Answer 12

ATP ( t p ) Short for adenosine triphosphate. An organic compound, C10H16N5O13P3, that is composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups. It serves as a source of energy for many metabolic processes. ATP releases energy when it is broken down into ADP by hydrolysis during cell metabolism.

Answer 13

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores potential energy in the form of a bond with the 3rd phosphate atom. When the bond is broken, energy is released, and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and one inorganic phosphate remains. Thus, the answer is it stores energy that can power processes, etc.

Answer 14

so ADP would basically be when ATP is broken down?

Answer 15

wait i will give u some more info...

Answer 16

ADP is the result of ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) dephosphorylation (loosing one of its phosphates). ATP itself is molecular unit of currency of intracellular energy transfer.

Answer 17

A nucleotide, C10H15N5O10P2, composed of adenosine and two linked phosphate groups, that is converted to ATP for the storage of energy.

Answer 18

ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate, and it's not only one of the most important molecules in the body, it's also one of the most numerous. ADP is an ingredient for DNA, it's essential for muscle contraction and it even helps initiate healing when a blood vessel is breached. Even with all those roles, however, there's one even more important: storing and releasing the energy within an organism.

Answer 19

I hope that helped..... :)
