How does an ATP molecule release energy for cells?
A. changing the base, adenosine, to guanine
B. breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd
phosphate
C. removing the ribose sugar

The correct answer is - B. breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd.

Explanation:

ATP molecule is known as cellular currency as it provides energy for cellular functions. ATP released energy when one phosphate group is removed or eliminated by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond. The rebreaking of this bond and removal is known as hydrolysis, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

Breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups provides a very high amount of energy. There is also additional energy released when phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

i am going to guess that it is co2.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
