ATP At Biology Glossary
What is it? (Adenosine TriPhosphate) A molecule consisting of adenosine (adenine plus a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. The last two phosphates are joined by high energy bonds which provide energy used in chemical reactions such as respiration and glycolysis. In plants, ATP is formed in the chlorplasts during photosynthesis.Bio Definition Added By: Isaac

Bio Term Complementation is The ability of a gene to produce a functional gene product which compensates for the mutant phenotype caused by a mutation in another gene. Typically, the complementing gene produces a gene product (e.g. a repressor protein or an enzyme for synthesis of a metabolite) that is diffusible and thus functions in trans.
