answ2. Phorphorus is an element essential to life, both animal and plant. Your teeth and bones for example. And phosphorous is essential in the ATP energy cycle inside the mitochondria. (the P of ATP is a phosphorous material)
idk, i have this as a science homework question. someone please answer it!
Phosphate ions have covalent bonds inside the ion (and three excess electrons too).
energy is realesed
Yes, the sugar and phosphate that make up the DNA backbone are joined together with covalent bonds. These bonds are stronger than the hydrogen bonds which join the bases from different strands together.
Bonds to the phosphate
covalent bond
An enzyme called HELICASE breaks the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA strands to initiate DNA replication and DNA transcription.
It has 2 high-energy phosphate bonds.
The nucleotides are linked by peptide bonds - covalent bonds between the carbon in the carboxyl group and the nitrogen in the amino group. The double helix is formed by hydrogen bonds between the hydrogens and oxygens of two strands of nucleotides.
DNA ligase
Polymerase is the enzyme that speeds up the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA.
Peptide bonds
ATP energy is stored in its 3 phosphate bonds. When the 3rd phosphate bond is broken, the energy is released. Then it only has 2 phosphate bonds.
between phosphate groups
phosphodiesterbonds
Phosphate ions have covalent bonds inside the ion (and three excess electrons too).
The bond linking a phosphate group to a sugar of a another molecule is called a phosphodiester bond
