Question

Why is it difficult to bond three phosphate groups to Adenosine?OOOThey have the same charge and repel each other.They form a strong attraction to each other.They are like opposite poles of a magnet.The energy is evenly dispersed across all three bonds.

Answer 1

The phosphate group has a negative charge, and when it binds to adenosine it has an unstable bond due to its three adjacent negative charges on its phosphate tail, which do not replicate and try to move away from each other. Therefore the answer will be: They have the same charge and repel each other.
