What is a rationlising factor ?

If the product of two irrational numbers is a rational number then each of the the two is rationalising factor of the other.

What is the purpose of rationilising the denominator ?

If the denominator of a fraction is irrational it is somewhat difficult to locate the fraction on number line. So, to make it easy we need to rationalise the denominator.

How to rationalise the denominator ?

1) Consider the denominator of the fraction.

2) Then multiply the numerator and denominator with rationalising factor of the denominator.

Answer 2

Answer:

The bond between the _second_________ phosphate group and the third__phosphate group is a high energy bond.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate is a nucleotide with three phosphate groups.  The second and third phosphate groups are bonded by high energy covalent bonds to the rest of the ATP molecule, which consists of a sugar, which is ribose, the first phosphate group, and the nitrogenous base which is adenine. All of the phosphate groups are negatively charged and repel each other, so a high energy covalent bond is necessary to attach these phosphate groups together and keep the forces from pulling them apart.
