a) The ATP molecule is composed of three components. At the centre is a sugar molecule‚ ribose (the same sugar that forms the basis of RNA). Attached to one side of this is a base (a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms); in this case the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of three bonded phosphate groups. These phosphates are the key to the activity of ATP. Especially‚ the bond between the last phosphate and second to last phosphate is

America‚ the great melting pot of the world. Sadly‚ this is more false than it is true. A lack of diversity in politics‚ self isolation of ethnic groups‚ and a general intolerance towards diverse groups of people help to form an untrue melting pot.

Respiration is the process by which energy is released energy from glucose in the presence of Oxygen‚ forming carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Glucose releases energy in a series of reactions that take place inside components of the cell. The stages are briefly explained below as were briefly explained in part A‚ the process then goes through‚ glycolosis‚ link reaction and then the Krebs cycle. The volume of CO2 that is produced in the Krebs cycle is important as this is the dependant

The Histamine Theory The immune system uses different types of white blood cells to defend the human body against foreign invaders. Of these white blood cell types‚ basophils are designed to release histamine. Histamine is most commonly associated with allergic reactions‚ but its true purpose is to increase blood flow to an area of the body the immune system deems under attack from foreign substances. These white blood cells also serve as an attractor for other cells needed to fight off invading
