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.
