The difference between a bisphosphate and diphosphate is very simple.
For a diphosphate, the 2 phosphate groups in the compound are directly attached to one another.
For a bisphosphate, the 2 phosphate groups in the compound are attached to different atoms on the compound, meaning that they are not attached to one another.

Fran"Bisphosphate" refers to a molecule with two phosphate groups attached, while "diphosphate" refers to a compound with two phosphate groups linked by a pyrophosphate bond. In essence, "bisphosphate" is a more general term describing any molecule with two phosphate groups, while "diphosphate" specifically refers to the specific type of bond between two phosphate groups.

Is there any difference between biphosphate and bisphosphate?
In biphosphate, two molecules of phosphate are attached through each other to the SAME CARBON atom. Difficult to find this kind of molecule.Whereas, in bisphophate, two molecules of phosphate group are linked at two DIFFERENT CARBON atom. ex: Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, where at C1 and C6, each Carbon atom bonded to it.
Is ribose part of adenosine diphosphate?
Yes, as Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is the product of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). The only difference between the two is ADP has on less phosphate group. Both ADP and ATP are composed of one pentose sugar ribose, 2 or 3 phosphate groups, and adenine.
What is the Major enzyme that fixes carbon dioxide?
The major enzyme that fixes carbon dioxide during photosynthesis is RuBisCO (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase). It catalyzes the incorporation of carbon dioxide into ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate, initiating the Calvin Cycle in plants.
What is the name of Hg3(PO4)2?
The name of Hg3(PO4)2 is trimercury diphosphate.
What molecule forms when ATP loses a phosphate?
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) is formed when ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) loses a phosphate group through hydrolysis.
