(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
(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
(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.
(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.
