Question 5
pts
, In order to convert proteins into amino acids which metabolic process would be active?

Question 6
pts
Describe the energy transfer process relative to both ATP and ADP.
Your Answer:
ATP has the energy to donate to ADP while ADP is able to recieve energy from ATP.
Therefore ATP-Pi--> ADP, ADP+Pi--> ATP
ATP has the energy (phosphate group) to donate while ADP can accept
energy in the form of a phosphate group. Thus, ATP can be
dephosphorylated (ATP
⟶
ADP + Pi), while ADP can be phosphorylated into ATP (ADP + Pi
