Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Phosphate R-PO A phosphate group is an phosphorus atom covalently bound to 4 oxygen atoms and contains one P=O.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hydroxyl and carboxylate groups enhance solubility by enabling stronger, more numerous interactions with water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The phosphate group has four electronegative oxygen atoms, which are highly reactive, and the transfer of the phosphate group from one molecule to another delivers energy to a chemical reaction. ATP is the main energy carrier in the cell and is composed of three phosphate groups.
