<unk> s are anionic phosphate<unk> ers linked between hydroxyl groups and hydrogen atoms. The<unk> erization that takes place is known as a condensation reaction. Phosphate chemical bonds are typically high-energy covalent bonds, which means that energy is available upon breaking such bonds in spontaneous or enzyme catalyzed reactions. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an example of a phosphate trimer, a<unk> er with three phosphate groups.
