Why is phosphorus important to living organisms?
Phosphorus is an element of ATP, the energy molecule of living organisms, hence it is important in metabolic activities. Phosphorous is also a component of nucleic acids.
What parts of the DNA molecule that determine heredity?
Genes
What is the molecular geometry around the central atom of a phosphorous trifloride molecule?
tigonal pyramidal
Where can a DNA molecule can carry vast amount of heredity information?
seguence of bases
Is phosphorous organic?
Adenosine triphosphate, ATP, contains phosphorous.
Is P4 phosphorus?
YES!!! It is a molecule that contains four(4) atoms of phosphorus.
Are sulfur and phosphorous molecule covalent?
Yes, they are covalent
Why is phosphorus important to living organisms?

What parts of the DNA molecule that determine heredity?
Genes
What is symbol of one molecule of phosphorous?
The chemical symbol of phosphorus is P.
When does the shape of a molecule affect it's polarity?
when the molecule contains polar bonds
What molecule might have been the first one to hold heredity information and be the base of cell biochemistry?
It was DNA molecule
What molecule controls heredity and is know by three letters?
It is the gene that controls heredity, and it is made up of DNA- this stands for Deoxorybic Nucleic Acid.
Is phosphorous a monoatomic?
No, it is most commonly regarded as tetratomic (tetra=4) molecule: P4
What is the molecular geometry around the central atom of a phosphorous trifloride molecule?
tigonal pyramidal
What molecule provides the code of instructions for the characteristics of an organism?
The portion of a DNA molecule containing the coded instructions is the gene. It is the basic unit of heredity that is passed from a parent to an offspring.
Where can a DNA molecule can carry vast amount of heredity information?
