It is often stated that the phosphate bonds in ATP are "high energy," but in fact, they are not notably high in energy. Rather, they are easy to break, and the âG of hydrolysis is a "useful" quantity of energy. What makes the phosphate bonds easy to break?
a. They are close to the destabilizing nitrogenous base adenosine
b. Positive charges on amino groups repel each other.
c. Negative charges on phosphate groups repel each other
d. High acidity attacks bonds between amino acids.
Value: 5

Value: 7
Why are cells not infinitely big?
a. Because they wouldn't fit in an organism
b. Because they would have a small surface area:volume ratio and substances would diffuse in and out too slowly
c. Because they would have a large surface area to volume ratio and substances would diffuse in and out too quickly
Value: 9
How is organelle movement around cells controlled?
