A scientist observed that during the course of a chemical reaction the number of ATP molecules were converted into ADP. What did the scientist most likely learn from the observation? a The reaction caused an output of energy. b The reaction produced water. c The reaction consumed water. d The reaction required an input of energy.

a The reaction caused an output of energy

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ADP, is an high-energy storage molecule in living cells. It stores and transfers needed energy for metabolic activities. ATP stores its energy in the bonds that hold the phosphate group in its structure. However, the energy is released for use during metabolic processes when the phosphate bond is broken, leading to the release of ADP molecule.

In this case, a scientist observed that during the course of a chemical reaction the number of ATP molecules were converted into ADP. This means that the reaction has caused ATP molecules to release its stored energy i.e. an energy output.

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."
