Question 14 of 18

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

A nucleosome is a structure composed of ( DNA, mRNA, rRNA, ADP ) ( wrapped around, inside loops of, surrounded by ) ( histone, small, ninhydrin, globular ) proteins. It allows the DNA to be stored more ( compactly, in solution, broadly ) as chromosomes. This phenomenon only occurs in ( eukaryotes, prokaryotes, bacteria, viruses ).

The equation that relates to the release of energy from ATP is:

( ATP, ADP, Pi, Glucose ) + ( H2O, CO2, Sunlight, 6O2 ) --> ( ADP, ATP, CO2, Pyruvate ) + ( Pi, Sigma, AMP, 6CO2 ) + ( energy, Glucose, ATP synthase, H2O )

The enzyme responsible for making ATP is .

Explanation

Question 17 of 18

1

How does ATP differ from other energy storage molecules, such as starch or glycogen?

Select one of the following:

It's a less stable molecule, so not used for long-term storage.
It is known as the universal energy currency because it releases energy in greater quantities.
Energy release from ATP is a multi-step process.
ATP is a polymer which has only one type of monomer.
