The third one in the chain : A = Adenosine; Amp = Adenosine mono phosphate; Adp = Adenosine di phosphate; and Atp = Adenosine tri phosphate.

Already at Adp there are lots of negatively charged oxygen atoms clustered, so to bring in another PO4-- makes it difficult to attach this last Pi and just as much energy is released when the bond is later 'broken'.

Why not directly eat ATP?

ATP is used by cells as energy currency because it contains a "high energy" phosphate bond. Since it is high energy it is also labile, so if one were to eat ATP the high acidity in the stomach would cause this bond to break. The products of this reaction would be ADP and a phosphate ion. I'm not sure if this would be further broken down into AMP plus another phosphate, but I think that the ADP or AMP could be directly adsorbed by the stomach lining. Of course, these molecules no longer have the high energy of ATP, so one would not get additional caloric value.


The removal of a phosphate group from a protein to cause the protein to change its confirmation is called phosphorylation?

This statement is inaccurate. Phosphorylation refers to the addition of a phosphate group to a protein, which typically changes its conformation and function. Removing a phosphate group from a protein is called dephosphorylation and can also alter the protein's activity.


How does ATP enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell membrane?

Once translated, proteins are dispersed throughout the cellular environment. This section covers the transport of a protein into a specific organelle--the mitochondria.


Does active transport involve phosphoralization?

Yes primary active transport machinery (protein pumps) relies on phosphorylation of the carrier protein. ATP hydrolysis yields the phosphate molecule to interact with the protein pump. This cause the conformational change in the ion channel protein to carry out exchange of ions. For example: sodium-potassium pump: binding of phosphate release sodium from cell, whereas dephosphorylation allows the entry of potassium ions inside the cell.


What stimulates conversion of glycogen to glucose?

The conversion of glycogen to glucose is stimulated by low blood sugar levels or the release of certain hormones like glucagon and adrenaline. These signals trigger enzymes to break down glycogen into glucose to raise blood sugar levels.

How does weathering release phosphate from a rock?

Chemical weathering and physical weathering are two types of weathering involved in the phosphorus cycle. In chemical weathering, a chemical reaction causes phosphate rocks to break down and release phosphate into soil. Acid precipitation and the chemicals released by lichen can cause the chemical weathering. In physical weathering, processes like wind, rain, and freezing releases particles of rock and phosphate into the soil.


What happens to energy when a chemical bond broken?

Depending on whether or not the original interaction was endothermic or exothermic, the breaking of the chemical bond will cause a release of energy and heat or an absorption of heat if the original equation was exothermic. The molecule created by the chemical bond will then denigrate.

How curses can be broken?

It all really depends on the curse. But most can be broken with the power of love. Some are broken by going to a witch or wizard in some cases, but it all depends on what the writer of the story or what you think.

What type of energy do explosions release?

Explosions release energy in the form of thermal energy (heat), mechanical energy (pressure waves), and sometimes light and sound energy. The rapid release of stored energy during an explosion produces these different forms of energy that can cause damage to surrounding objects and structures.

What can phosphate cause?

Phosphate can cause nutrient imbalances in aquatic systems, leading to excessive plant growth (eutrophication) and harmful algal blooms. It can also contribute to the degradation of water quality and pose a risk to aquatic ecosystems and human health.
