#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. the energy associated with their hydrolysis is much less than that of the phosphoanhydride in ATP.

  2. they are more stable at neutral pH values in cells.

  3. they are less stable because S is present instead of O in the linkage.

  4. they are used in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
