1.) In the structure of a eukaryotic plant cell consist of a membrane-closed nuclei and organelles, since they developed a process in which they manufacture their own food. The Chlorophyll, which gives the plant the green color captures sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and carbs, in which are used for the repetition of the cycle. Not only does the plant cell consist of a membrane, unlike other eukaryotic cells it additionally has a cell wall in since it has a much bigger central vacuole. They also have plasmodesmata, and chloroplast only found in plant cells. A nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ from a generalized eukaryotic plant cell by the presence of a nucleus and the structures of the cell. Plants do not have bones structural strength besides the membrane, also the vacuoles contain nutrients and liquids and the chloroplasts contain the organelles that help the plant to get energy form the sunlight. A prokaryotic cell usually gets its energy from sugars and other organic substances and they have a cytoskeleton like cilia.

2.) In the cell all of the activities and functions are going to require energy in order for it to have these reactions. ATP and ADP play a big role in the cell’s organelles since without them they would not have the energy reaction to be able to function.

A) Most cells generate themselves with cilia or flagellum, these structures are powered by structural changes that happen when ATP is burned.

B) ATP is required to active pumps and channels to push nutrients against their concentration gradient (moving them from where there is less to where there is more concentration, particles do not like to do this)

C) Your body using enzymes to control rates of synthesis, refer to A and B for how.

D) Same answer as B.

E) ATP is used to burn glucose into 2 pyruvic acids.

3.) Osmosis- is diffusion but with water. Diffusion is the movement of

    The energy in ATP can be released as heat or can be used in the cell as a power source to drive various types of chemical and mechanical activities. For example, when the terminal phosphate group of the ATP molecule is removed by hydrolysis (a decomposition process that occurs when a substance reacts with water), energy in the form of heat is released and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are formed.…

    All about ATP

    • 2 Pages

    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a nucleotide that is of fundamental importance as a carrier of chemical energy in all living organisms. It consists of adenine linked to D-ribose (i.e. adenosine); the D-ribose component bears three phosphate groups, linearly linked together by covalent bonds (see formula). These bonds can undergo hydrolysis to yield either a molecule of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate or a molecule of AMP (adenosine monophosphate) and pyrophosphate. Both these reactions yield a large amount of energy (about 30.6 kJ mol–1) that is used to bring about such biological processes as muscle contraction, the active transport of ions and molecules across plasma membranes, and the synthesis of biomolecules. The reactions bringing about these processes often involve the enzyme-catalysed transfer of the phosphate group to intermediate substrates, for example by a kinase enzyme.…

    ATP is produced by almost all living things. It stands for adenosine triphosphate and it is the major 'currency' of energy in the body. When the third phosphate bond is created, it immediately is broken and energy is released that can fuel the metabolic chemical reactions required by living organisms, which otherwise would be inefficient. This creates ADP which has one less phosphate attached to the group. ATP has many functions in body such as it is used in muscle contraction, active transport and biosynthetic reactions.…
