Question

Phosphoryl group transfer___________. A. is catalyzed by a group of enzymes known as phosphagens B. can use inorganic polyphosphate as a phosphoryl group donor C. is not associated with a change in free energy D. does not appreciably occur between nucleotides

Answer 1

The correct answer is B can use inorganic polyphosphate or phosphoryl group donor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phosphoryl group transfer is a phenomenon that deals with transfer of phosphoryl group from a inorganic polyphosphate such as phosphate ester to a nucleophile(species that contain large number of electrons).

For example Hydrolysis of ATP

ATP undergo hydrolysis in presence of water to liberate its gamma phosphate thus resulting in the formation of ADP along with inorganic phosphate(pi).
