Although Q*e-a ideally should be zero for an entire year (energy input = energy output), net radiation for the Earth’s surface (Q*sfc) alone is generally positive (gaining energy) while the net radiation for the atmosphere (Q*atm) alone is negative (losing energy) (see Figure 3). There must be a vertical transport of energy from the surface to the atmosphere to overcome this apparent imbalance. 1)By what 2 processes is this imbalance overcome?
2)If these processes did not occur, explain what would happen to Earth’s temperature over time.

Idont really understand

Atp is is our little "pocket" of energy. of course, if you have too little, then it means you have too little energy, and you'll pass out. the way to not have enough, is to have no energy sources (glucose, fats, proteins). you can't have too many atp molecules. cycles like the krebs cycle produce it, but if you have too much of any substrate (or too little for that matter), the cycle stops and atp is no longer made (it stops until substrate levels are such that the process can go on). in any case, this is unlikely since atp is constantly hydrolyzed and remade, even while you're asleep. you won't have too much. if you have zero, you are dead or dying.

C) they are specialized meaning they are designed to do different things
