Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical addition of a phosphate group (PO3-) to an organic molecule is known as phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-2: -We can define phosphorylation as a biochemical process in which a phosphate molecule is added to some organic compound, such as glucose and adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Detailed explanation-3: -A process in which a phosphate group is added to a molecule, such as a sugar or a protein.
Detailed explanation-4: -Phosphoryl group derives from phosphoric acid and has an overall negative charge. Its chemical formula is PO32-. Phosphoryl group consists of a phosphorus atom in the centre and three oxygen atoms attached to it.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are three phosphorylation mechanisms – 1) substrate level; 2) oxidative; and 3) photophosphorylation.
