Dictionary » P » Phosphorylation Phosphorylationphosphorylation (Science: biochemistry) The creation of a phosphate derivative of an organic molecule. This isusually achieved by transferring a phosphate group from aTP. The process of adding a [[phosphate to a molecule, and occurs in [[respiration and [[photosynthesis. ![]()

Results from our forumcan galactose be convert into fructose?... do not have a hydroxyl group on Carbon 1 and have a carbonyl group instead. You need a hydroxyl group to create the phosphoester bond during the phosphorylation reaction).

Re: can galactose be convert into fructose?Since I have yet to learn about phosphorylation, I can only answer your second question about 'the transformation of galactose to fructose' . If I'm not mistaken, no , galactose cannot be transformed/converted to fructose (a sugar found in ...

Converting to energy source- glycolysis etc..... plants also carry out cellular respiration, which consists of glycolysis (which occurs in the cytosol of cells) and citric acid cycle + oxidative phosphorylation (which occur in the mitochondria of cells). Independently from this, plant cells also carry out photosynthesis, where water and carbon ...

Converting to energy source- glycolysis etc..... acid cycle --> electron transport chain --> produces a total of 32 ATP So here is what i am confused about. For plants, they go through photophosphorylation instead of the oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain) in which the photophosphorylation produces ATP and NADPH which is ...

Cellular trivia ? anyone hmm hmm?... use 20 common AMINO ACIDS as building blocks of protein (though there are close to 100 different amino acids that are observed in proteomics: phosphorylation, glycosylation, acetylation, and hydroxylations of the common amino acids are just a few of the modifications we know of so far).
