-What is the role of ATP in the cell?

The nucleotide coenzyme ATP is the most important form of chemical energy in all cells. Cells make use of ATP for:

Chemical work - ATP supplies energy to synthesize macro-molecules, and therefore the organism.

Transport work - ATP supplies energy needed to pump substances across the plasma membrane.

Mechanical work - ATP supplies energy for cellular movements.

-How do cells store for the long term? How is it then broken down to fuel the cells?

When cells need to store chemical energy in a more stable form for long-term storage, the energy from ATP to build more stable molecules. ATP is then further broken down into ADP and energy. The fuel for cellular respiration is glucose, which is formed when carbohydrates, such as starch and sucrose are broken down. If too few carbohydrates are available to meet an organism's energy needs, other molecules, such as fats, can be broken down to make ATP.

what image you forgot to include it.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
