What does phosphate connect to?
ATP ... and thus to all living things.
Why is phosphate essential to living things?
Because it is the important constituent of ribonucleic acid.
Is calcium phosphate living or non living?
Calcium phosphate is an inorganic compound.
Why do living things need phosphorus?
For one example, the most critical part of the Cell is the Dna sugar - phosphate backbone.
The compound that provides energy to living organisms?
The compound that provides energy to living things is known as ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate), this compound is formed in the mitochondria of cells
Examples of inorganic molecules?
Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sodium chloride, calcium phosphate, to name several that are important to living things.
What is the meaning of ATP and why is it important to life?
ATP is adenine triphosphate and it is important to life because of the way the phosphate groups store energy that living things need to survive. When energy is released, it becomed ADP (adenine diphosphate) which means a phosphate group is lost.
What is the energy molecule in living things?
ATP also called adenosine triphosphate.It is based around the same nitrogenous base as the DNA and RNA adenine nucleotide is, except it is not attached to a sugar and has three phosphate groups instead of the one phosphate group that the adenine nucleotide has.
How does phospHorus enter living plants?
Plants absorb phosphate from the soil.
What is the primary energy molecule in living things?
ATP also called adenosine triphosphate.It is based around the same nitrogenous base as the DNA and RNA adenine nucleotide is, except it is not attached to a sugar and has three phosphate groups instead of the one phosphate group that the adenine nucleotide has.
How is phosphorus important?
Phosphorus is important to living things. The energy-storage molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contains phosphorus, and DNA and RNA nucleotides contain phosphorus in the form of phosphate groups.
What is living matter made of?
All living matter is made up of CHONPS (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphate and sulfate)
