Answer:

Phosphorylation

Explanation:

Phosphorylation is the term used to describe the transfer of a phosphate group (PO34-) from a donor to a receptor molecule or compound. The process of phosphorylation is usually catalysed by a biological enzyme called KINASE.

Phosphorylation can either be addition of an inorganic phosphate to a molecule. For example, addition of phosphate group to ADP to form ATP, or the donation of a phosphate group to another molecule, e.g transfer of phosphate from ATP to glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate during glycolysis.
