A triplet code produces 64 (43 = 64) possible combinations, or codons.

A triplet code produces 64 (43 = 64) possible combinations, or codons. Thus, a triplet code introduces the problem of there being more than three times the number of codons than amino acids.

Based on the 20 amino acids found in proteins, there are 6840 possible variations in a polymer composed of just three amino acids.

<h3>What are amino acids?</h3>

Amino acids are the molecules from which protein molecules are made from.

There are 20 common amino acids from which protein molecules are built up from.

The amino acids are joined one to another in the protein by peptide bonds.

In a polymer composed of three amino acids, the possible variations are calculated by permutation.

The possible variations are 20 permutation 3.

nPr = n!/(n - r)!

where n = 20 r = 3

nPr = 20!/(20 - 3)!

nPr = 6840

Therefore, there are 6840 possible variations in a polymer composed of just three amino acids.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phophate groups in a row. In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP. This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work. Now its back to being ADP and is ready to store the energy from respiration by bonding with a 3rd phosphate group. ADP and ATP constantly convert back and forth in this manner.
