(a)
Interpretation: To determine the structural difference between ATP and AMP.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the structural difference between ADP and GDP.
Concept introduction: Nucleotide is the basic unit required for the formation of nucleic acid which is required for completion of various metabolic reactions. The basic structure of nucleotide consists of three units: nitrogen-containing base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. The nitrogen-containing base and pentose sugar are collectively known as a nucleoside. A nucleoside unit attached to a phosphate group together forms a nucleotide unit. ATP, AMP, ADP, and GDP are examples of nucleotides present in the human body.

- What does a bomb calorimeter measure? a. How much energy the body expends during strenuous exercise b. The potential energy in foods c. Basil metabolism d. How changes in the environment affect the body’s hormone status e. How much energy the body expends during daily activitiesarrow_forward- Part A When blood glucose levels rise following a meal, the events listed below occur. Arrange these events in the appropriate sequence. Arrange the events from earliest to latest. Reset Help Glycogen synthesis Glycolysis replenishes ATP supplies. (glycogenesis) occurs with excess Blood levels pass through normal to below normal Glucose is absorbed by cells. Glucagon is secreted. Insulin levels rise. glucose. (hypoglycemic). The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream. earliest latestarrow_forwardOur bodies need a certain amount of energetic to function. Most of the Engel comes from out good. When we eat more food than our body can use, the excess energy is stored as fat. If person wants to keep their body fat content low, should they eat foods high in carbs, fats, and/ or proteins? Why?arrow_forward
