gather and process information from a diagram or model of the structure of the adenosine triphosphate molecule to discuss the nature and organisation of the phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate groups
A phosphodiester bond is an ester linkage between two phosphate groups.
- Gather information from various sources including popular scientific magazines, textbooks like the ones previously listed (Option 9.9;Part 6) and the Internet including the sites below to find a diagram or model of ATP.
- Process the information to illustrate patterns in the molecule. Use the secondary sources to draw and label an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule. On the molecule colour the phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate groups. Also label the adenosine molecule and the ribose sugar.
