phosphorylation creates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP is the form of energy needed to sustain our cells and thereby sustain every living organism. in many biological reactions, it also acts as an electron carrier, allowing for further energy-producing processes to occur.

∙ 13y agoPhosphorylation is significant due to it's ability to transfer a relatively large amount of chemical energy to and from molecules. It also acts as an activator/deactivator of some enzymes.

Why is ATP important in ligation reactions?
ATP provides energy for the condensation reaction joining adjacent nucleotides.
Biochemical reactions in the body must occur in what?
Biochemical reactions in the body must occur in solution; otherwise, they cannot chemically react.
What is the product of light independent reactions?
The product of light independent reactions are Oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. ATP is a unit of energy that the body uses; NADPH is the reduced form of NADP (as you can tell, it is missing hydrogen).
How is the energy contained in the ATP used in the cell?
The cell utilizes energy for growth, division, carrying out biochemical reactions and generally for performing all its functions.
In which biochemical form photosynthesis moves in phloem tissue?
In the form of ATP.
What compound transports energy in biochemical reactions?
ATP
What are the three products of the light dependent reactions?
The light dependent reaction is a set of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments. Its three products are oxygen, ATP and NADPH.
What about the energy of biochemical reactions is true?
ATP stores chemical energy in its phosphate bonds. Energy is released when the phosphate bond is broken.
Explain the importance of phosphorylation in biochemical reactions?
Phosphorylation creates ATP (adenicine triphosphate) from ADP (adenicine diphosphate). ATP is the molecule needed to sustain our cells, and therefore our bodily functions.
Why are enzymes important in chemical reaction?
Enzymes act as catalysts in biochemical reactions.
What reactions do plants do?
Biochemical reactions
Why is ATP important in ligation reactions?
ATP provides energy for the condensation reaction joining adjacent nucleotides.
Why is cellular respiration important to them?
to form atp to fuel metabolic reactions
What is a series of biochemical reactions that release carbon dioxide and result in fermation of ATP?
I think you are looking for either "the citric acid cycle" or "the electron transport chain"
What biomolecule is the energy bank?
Adenosine tri-phosphate, Atp, is used as the source of chemical energy in the majority of biochemical reactions; Gtp and Utp are also used at times.
Why is it important for the dry seed to absorb water before it begins germination?
To activate enzymes for biochemical reactions
Biochemical reactions in the body must occur in what?
Biochemical reactions in the body must occur in solution; otherwise, they cannot chemically react.
