∙ 10y agoThe phosphate anion PO43- is trivalent. The phosphate in organic compounds is less straightforward. ATP. adenosine triphosphate, and ADP adenosine diphosphate are organic covalent phosphates. Technically the di and tri phisphate groups are polyphosphates with bridging oxygen atoms between the phosphorus atoms. The group attaches via one of the oxygen atoms forming a P-O-C link..

How many double bonds are present in the best resonance structure of the phosphate ion?
one
What type of bond does phosphate have?
Phosphate ions have covalent bonds inside the ion (and three excess electrons too).
When adenosine-phosphate bonds are broken?
energy is realesed
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.
What happens when you add NaCl salt in it's solid state to a phosphate buffer system?
Bonds to the phosphate
How many high energy phosphate bonds does ADP have?
One
Where are high energy bonds found in ATP?
It has 2 high-energy phosphate bonds.
How many double bonds are present in the best resonance structure of the phosphate ion?
one
Enzyme that analyzes the formation of the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA?
Polymerase is the enzyme that speeds up the sugar to phosphate bonds in DNA.
What type of bonds join phosphate groups to the sugers?
Peptide bonds
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.
Where are the high energy bonds found in ATP?
between phosphate groups
What bonds the deoxyribose sugars to the phosphate?
phosphodiesterbonds
What type of bond does phosphate have?
Phosphate ions have covalent bonds inside the ion (and three excess electrons too).
What type of bonds holds the sugar and phosphate groups together?
The bond linking a phosphate group to a sugar of a another molecule is called a phosphodiester bond
When adenosine phosphate bonds are broken?
energy is realesed
Where does ATP store it's energy?
In its phosphate bonds.
