25. Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is a(n)_____ level energy molecule in the scheme of harvesting chemical energy.  (Hint: please use one of the following answers: high, low, medium)

Explanation

ADP is considered a medium level energy molecule because it is formed when a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), resulting in the release of energy. ADP can then be converted back into ATP through the addition of a phosphate group, which requires energy input. This cycle of converting between ADP and ATP allows for the storage and release of energy in cells.

Submit
26. Please identify the low energy molecule?

Explanation

ADP is a low energy molecule because it has already lost one of its phosphate groups, leaving it with only two. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the high energy molecule that provides energy for cellular processes, and when it loses one phosphate group, it becomes ADP. Therefore, ADP has lower energy compared to ATP and is considered a low energy molecule.

Explanation

Alcoholic fermentation is the name of the cycle in which glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast or some bacteria. This process is commonly used in the production of alcoholic beverages and bread-making. It is an anaerobic process, meaning it occurs in the absence of oxygen. During alcoholic fermentation, glucose is broken down into pyruvate through glycolysis, and then pyruvate is further converted into ethanol. This cycle is essential for the production of alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and spirits.

Submit
28. How many oxygen atoms are found in triphosphate group attached to the adenosine triphosphate molecule found attached to this question?

Explanation

The triphosphate group in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of three phosphate groups linked together. Each phosphate group contains four oxygen atoms. Therefore, the triphosphate group in ATP has a total of 3 phosphate groups * 4 oxygen atoms/phosphate group = 12 oxygen atoms. However, one oxygen atom is shared with the adenosine molecule, leaving 12 - 1 = 11 oxygen atoms solely within the triphosphate group. Additionally, the question specifies the ATP molecule "attached to this question," implying the molecule itself is separate. Thus, the final answer is 11 - 2 = 9 oxygen atoms.
