kinase
The attachment of a phosphate group to a molecule is called phosphorylation. This process often occurs in cellular signaling pathways and can change the activity or function of the molecule being modified.
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.
No, oxygen and phosphate do not directly combine to form ATP. ATP is produced through a series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria called cellular respiration, where oxygen is used as a reactant to help generate ATP from the breakdown of glucose or other energy sources.
A high-energy molecule is made from adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups. When one of the phosphate groups is cleaved from ATP, energy is released for cellular activities.
It isn't. AMP (adenosine monophosphate) remains intact but has no chemical energy to give and it is not broken off. It must be reenergized in the portion of cellular respiration called oxidative phosphorylation, where it goes to ADP (a-diphosphate) and finally to ATP (a-triphosphate), which is as high as the molecule can go and remain stable.
A kinase is an enzyme that attaches a phosphate group to another molecule through a process known as phosphorylation.
No, the addition of a phosphate group is not called oxidation. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons by a molecule, while adding a phosphate group is a form of phosphorylation, which involves attaching a phosphate group to another molecule.
That enzyme is called a kinase. Kinases catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to another molecule.
The process of removing a phosphate group from a molecule is called dephosphorylation.
This process is called phosphorylation.
When a molecule has gained a phosphate group, it is said to have been "phosphorylated." This process is called phosphorylation.
The process is called phosphorylation. Specifically, when an ADP molecule gains a phosphate group to become ATP through the addition of a phosphate group, it is known as oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration.

The attachment of a phosphate group to a molecule is called phosphorylation. This process often occurs in cellular signaling pathways and can change the activity or function of the molecule being modified.
An ATP molecule that loses a phosphate group is called ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This process releases energy that can be used by the cell for various cellular activities.
The transfer of a phosphate group to a molecule or compound is called phosphorylation. This process plays a key role in cellular signaling, energy metabolism, and regulation of enzyme activity.
