A molecule that is phosphorylated
A. Has been reduced as a result of a redox reaction involving the loss of an inorganic phosphate
B. Has a decreased chemical reactivity; it is less likely to provide energy for cellular work
C. Has been oxidized as a result of a redox reaction involving the gain of an inorganic phosphate
D. Has an increased chemical reactivity: it is primed to do cellular work
E. Has less energy than before its phosphorylation and therefore less energy for cellular work
Answer: D
