Q:

ATP stands for -

A) Adenosine triphosphate B) Alanine triphosphate
C) Adrenalin triphosphate D) Asparagine triphosphate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide which is also called as nucleoside triphosphate is a small molecule used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. Most of the cellular functions need energy in order to be carried out such as synthesis of proteins, synthesis of membranes, movement of the cell, cellular division, transport of various solutes etc. The ATP is the molecule that carries energy to the place where the energy is needed. When ATP breaks into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and Pi (phosphate), the breakdown of the last covalent link of phosphate liberates energy that is used in reactions where it is needed.

Q:

What causes brownian motion in colloids?

A) coagulation of particles and the dispersed phase B) erratic flashes of light
C) molecules of the dispersion medium colliding with dispersed phase particles D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) molecules of the dispersion medium colliding with dispersed phase particles

Explanation:

When their is a colloid in the solution, then it will show the Brownian movement, such as dust particle in the air will show the Brownian movement.

 

Hence, Brownian movement arises due to the impact of the molecules of the dispersion medium with the colloidal particles. It has been postulated that the impact of the molecules of dispersion medium on the colloidal particles are unequal.

 

This leads to the zig-zag (random) motion of the colloidal particles.
