What bond in ATP breaks to release energy during the formation of ADP?

The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.


In which part of the DNA molecule would a change be more damaging to the cell in the sugar-phosphate sides of the molecule or in the A G C T bases?

Changes in the A, G, C, or T bases of the DNA molecule would generally be more damaging to the cell than alterations in the sugar-phosphate backbone. The bases encode the genetic information, and mutations in these sequences can lead to incorrect protein synthesis, potentially causing malfunction or disease. In contrast, modifications to the sugar-phosphate backbone typically do not affect the genetic code directly, although they can impact the stability and integrity of the DNA.


How many lead atoms are in the following Pb3PO4?

In each MOLECULE of Pb3PO4 there would be 3 lead atoms, but Pb3PO4 is not a correct formula. The formula for lead phosphate would be Pb3(PO4)2. There are still 3 lead atoms per molecule of the compound.


How many phosphoric acids does ATP have?

ADP has two, I think... So ATP would have three. :D


If the structure of DNA were likened to a ladder what would make up the supporting structure (not the rungs) of a ladder?

If the structure of DNA is likened to a ladder, the supporting structure would be the sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone consists of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups that provide structural support to the DNA molecule, holding the rungs (the nitrogenous base pairs) together. Just like the sides of a ladder, the sugar-phosphate backbone maintains the integrity and stability of the DNA double helix.

Number of phosphates in DNA molecule with five base pairs?

A DNA molecule with five base pairs would have 5 phosphate groups in its backbone. Each nucleotide in the DNA molecule contains one phosphate group, so a DNA molecule with five base pairs would have a total of 5 phosphate groups in its structure.

What is found in the sides of DNA molecules but not on the rungs?

In a DNA molecule, the sides are made up of alternating sugar and phosphate groups bonded together. These sugar-phosphate backbones provide structural support to the DNA molecule. The rungs of the DNA ladder are made up of nitrogenous bases that form hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs.


Does phosphate have a dipole moment?

I would say no- if you mean inorganic phosphates - ionic containing the phosphate ion PO43-


How many atoms of phosphorus are in 7.6 moles of copper phosphate?

There are 4 phosphorus atoms in one molecule of copper phosphate (Cu3(PO4)2). Therefore, in 7.6 moles of copper phosphate, there would be 7.6 moles x 4 atoms = 30.4 moles of phosphorus atoms.


What reaction would represent dephosphorylation?

Dephosphorylation is the process of removing a phosphate group from a molecule. For example, the reaction catalyzed by a phosphatase enzyme can dephosphorylate a substrate by removing the phosphate group from it, typically using water as a reactant. This reaction decreases the phosphorylation state of the molecule, impacting its biological activity and signaling.

Does DNA contain phosphate?

"DNA is essentially made up of a sequence of nucleotides, each of which are associated with one molecule of phosphate." This is true, however not completely. Let's look at an example. Say we have a DNA molecule that is 10 base pairs long ( double stranded, so actually has 20 bases). The statement suggests we would have 20 phosphates in this molecule of DNA. However, we actually have 24. This is because the nucleotides situated at the 5' terminals of each strand have 3 phosphates rather than one. Since we have 2 5' terminals we have an excess of 4 phosphates which we did not account earlier, so instead of 20, we are now at 24 phosphates.
