Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The equation for hydrolysis of GTP to GDP has to be written. Also, the sign of energy change has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
1. Nitrogen-containing base
2. Pentose sugar
3. Phosphate group
Nitrogen-containing base and pentose sugar are collectively known as nucleoside. When a phosphate group is attached with nucleoside then it is termed as nucleotide. Examples of nucleosides are GTP and ATP. Nucleotide on hydrolysis releases energy by cleavage of phosphoanhydride bond.
