Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To determine the number of phosphoanhydride bonds present in an ADP molecule.
Concept introduction: Phosphoanhydride bond is the bond between the two phosphate groups. During the phosphoanhydride bond formation, a water molecule is released and phosphates groups are connected to each other. General representation of the phosphoanhydride bond is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the number of phosphoester bonds present in an ADP molecule.
Concept introduction: Phosphoester bond is the
