Phosphate
The functional group PO4 is a phosphate group. It consists of a central phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. Phosphate groups play important roles in many biological processes, such as energy storage (ATP) and DNA structure.
Hydroxyl-OH Amino-NH2 Phosphate-PO4
PO43- is the phosphate ion.
The functional group associated with a release of energy that cells can harvest is the phosphate group. This is because the breaking and rearranging of phosphate bonds in molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate) releases energy that cells can use for various functions.
Aminos, phosphates, and carbonyls.
Oxygen can be found in functional groups such as hydroxyl (-OH) and carbonyl (C=O). Nitrogen is commonly found in amino groups (-NH2) and amide groups (NH-C=O). Phosphorus is typically found in phosphate groups (PO4) or phosphodiester linkages in nucleic acids.
The functional groups, such as hydroxyl (-OH) or phosphate (-PO4), are the parts of a molecule that often get added or removed during chemical reactions. These functional groups can alter the properties and reactivity of the molecule.
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are made up of amines (NH2) and carboxyls (COOH). They are joined by peptide bonds. Examples of functional categories of proteins includes Contractile proteins, regulatory proteins, structural proteins, transport proteins, catalytic proteins and immunological proteins
The chemical formula for a phosphate group is PO4^3-. It consists of one phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms.

You would place a phosphate group in parentheses if more than one group is needed to make the compound. For example, magnesium phosphate has the formula Mg3(PO4)2.
