Explanation / Answer

(14),(15) , (16) and (18) are correct answers

Correct Answer of (17) There are at least three reasons (a) So they will not cross the plasma membrane and be lost.

(b) The resulting high-energy phosphoryl groups can be transferred directly to ADP to make ATP.

(c) The high binding energy of the ionic interactions between the (-) charged phosphoryl groups and (+) charged enzyme side chains helps to stabilize the enzyme-substrate interaction.
