Answer #1

ATP means adenosine triphosphate. When 3 phosphate groups binds to the ribose sugar which is again binds to the nitrogenous base Adenine, adenosine triphosphate or ATP is formed. The phosphate groups are joined with each other by phosphoanhydride bonds. So, when one phosphate group is removed from the ATP complex by breaking of phosphoanhydride bond, it results in the formation of Adenosine diphosphate and liberation of energy. The phosphoanhydride bonds are breaks by a process known as hydrolysis. Also when again a phosphate group is removed from the Adenosine diphosphate by breaking of phosphoanhydride bond by the process of hydrolysis, it results in production of energy and Adenosine monophosphate.

Protein synthesis requires energy in the form of ATP and GTP. Two high-energy phosphate bonds (from ATP) fuel the formation of one aminoacyl tRNA. Formation of the initiation complex requires energy from one GTP. Delivery of each new tRNA to the Asite requires one GTP. Termination requires the hydrolysis of one GTP.   Based on this information, the table of codons, and your understanding of the processes of Activation, Initiation, Elongation, and Termination, answer the following questions. How many high energy...

The molecular process that makes muscle contraction possible is that ATP binds to myosin, which releases the energy needed to make the muscle contract. In this problem, we will examine the quantities of energy involved in this process. Part 1 The reaction of ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by myosin (M) occurs in several steps*: M + ATP → M·ATP M·ATP → M·ADP·Pi M·ADP·Pi → M·ADP + Pi (aq) M·ADP → M + ADP * T. Kodama & R.C.
