Question

1. the diagram shows a model of the conversion between atp and adp. which statement is supported by the model? a) atp and adp do not contain energy. b) atp contains more energy than adp. c) adp contains more energy than atp. d) atp and adp contain the same amount of energy. 5) the images show carbon - based molecules found in living organisms. based on evidence from the images, which statement about the bonding of carbon atoms is true?

Explanation:

1. For the ATP - ADP conversion: When ATP converts to ADP, energy is released. This implies that ATP has more energy stored in its high - energy phosphate bonds. When the bond is broken to form ADP and a phosphate group, energy is set free.
2. For the carbon - based molecules: Carbon has 4 valence electrons and can form up to 4 covalent bonds with other atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen etc. This property allows for the vast diversity of carbon - based molecules in living organisms.

Answer:

1. B. ATP contains more energy than ADP.
2. (No options provided for this part in the answer section, but based on general knowledge, carbon has the ability to form up to four covalent bonds)
