Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of ATP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is a small molecule and is called as the main energy currency of the cell. The energy produced from biological reactions like breakdown of nucleotide are stored as ATP molecules and can be used for several cellular reactions which required energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of GTP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

GTP stands for guanylyl imidodiphosphate here, guanosine-5’-truphospahte is a substance that is incorporated into the growing chain of polymer and utilized as a energy supplier in the synthesis of proteins.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of UTP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Uridine-5'-triphosphate consists of organic base U attached with the 1’ carbo of carbohydrate and forms ester bond with tri-phosphoric acid at 5’ position. This is also known as pyrimidine glycoside triphosphate. It acts as a substrate for ribonucleic acid’s synthesis in the transcription process.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The number of ATP equivalents expended in the synthesis of CTP needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Cytidine triphosphate may be a pyrimidine glycoside triphosphate. CTP, very like adenosine triphosphate, consists of a carbohydrate sugar, and 3 phosphate teams. The main distinction between the 2 molecules is that the base used, that in CTP is C. CTP may be a substrate within the synthesis of ribonucleic acid.
