The structure of adenosine triphosphate (atp) is shown here. which statement best explains how energy stored in the chemical bonds of atp can be released. a) adenine is removed by hydrolysis from an atp molecule. b) electrons are removed by hydrolysis from an atp molecule. c) a phosphate is removed by hydrolysis from an atp molecule. d) a phosphate group is added to an atp molecule with the addition of h2o.

ATP is an nucleotide which contains adenine+ribose sugar + three phosphate groups.The three phosphate groups in ATP are linked together by phosphoanhydride bonds. So when energy is needed to be released, hydrolysis happens breaking one phosphoanhydride bond releasing a phosphate group thereby converting ATP to ADP. So The answer is C.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
