the synthesis of glucose from small organic molecules such as pyruvate

(Q005) What is the function of a kinase? to oxidize a molecule to add a phosphate group to a molecule to rearrange the bonds into an isomeric form to shift a chemical group from one position to another in a molecule

to add a phosphate group to a molecule

In what form do plant and animal cells store fat? triacylglycerol glycogen nitroglycerin phospholipids starch

triacylglycerol *Correct. The triacylglycerol in plants and animals differs only in the types of fatty acids that predominate: plant oils contain unsaturated fatty acids (with one or more double bonds) and animal fats are saturated.
