Glucose and other monosaccharides react with ________ to form phosphate ester in biological systems.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose and other monosaccharides react with ATP to form phosphate ester in biological systems. This reaction is important in the metabolic processes that produce and utilize energy in cells. The addition of a phosphate group to glucose or another monosaccharide increases the potential energy of the molecule, allowing it to be used for cellular processes such as muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and synthesis of macromolecules. Therefore, the correct choice is E) ATP.
