Explanation / Answer

1,A

ATP contains two phosphate bonds that contains high level of energy. During a process called hydrolysis .one phosphate group from ATP is removed and energy is released ,forming ADP . again energy is released by breaking phosphate bond in ADP . the breaking of two high energy phosphate bond releases energy .

2- D

All are characteristics of living organisms .All organisms will adapt with their environment by altering structural and metabolic properties . Also they evolve over time .

3-C

Order of taxonomic ranks are species, genus,family, order,class, phylum, kingdom . in which family contain related genus which share similar traits.

4-c

As atomic number denotes the number of protons and atomic mass denotes total number of neutrons and protons , number of neutrons equals to 200-80
