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!

What bonds form nuclei acids?

Nucleic acids are made up of phosphate bonds, sugar bonds, and hydrogen bonds. These bonds connect the nucleotide building blocks of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA.


Do covalent bonds join DNA sugar phosphate backbones?

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.


Which enzyme is responsible for creating the covalent bonds that connect the sugar phosphate back bone of the new DNA molecules?

An enzyme called HELICASE breaks the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA strands to initiate DNA replication and DNA transcription.


What type of bond connects to the backbone of a DNA molecule?

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.


Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?

Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.


How many high energy phosphate bonds does ADP have?

ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two high-energy phosphate bonds. These phosphate bonds store energy that can be used to drive cellular processes such as metabolism and cellular work.


What type of bonds join phosphate groups to the sugers?

Peptide bonds


Do the four nitrogen bases connect to phosphate or sugar?

The four nitrogen bases in DNA (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) connect to the sugar component (deoxyribose) of the nucleotides through covalent bonds. The phosphate group then connects to the sugar molecule to form the backbone of the DNA molecule.


How is energy released from ATP stored in cells?

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.


Which enzyme is responsible for creating the covalent bonds that connect the sugar-phosphate backbone of the new DNA molecule?

DNA ligase is the enzyme responsible for creating the covalent bonds that connect the sugar-phosphate backbone of the new DNA molecule during DNA replication and repair processes. It seals the nicks between adjacent nucleotides to form a continuous DNA strand.


What type of bond connects nucleotides?

Phosphodiester bonds connect nucleotides in DNA and RNA. These bonds form between the phosphate group on one nucleotide and the sugar group on another nucleotide.


What type of bonds holds the sugar and phosphate groups together?

Phosphodiester bonds hold the sugar and phosphate groups together in DNA and RNA molecules. These bonds form between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3'-hydroxyl group of the sugar in the adjacent nucleotide.
