A molecule that is phosphorylated
A) has an increased chemical reactivity; it is primed to do cellular work.
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 been reduced as a result of a redox reaction involving the loss of an inorganic phosphate.
E) has less energy than before its phosphorylation and therefore less energy for cellular work.
