ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A nitrogen base (adenine), sugar ring (ribose), and 3 phosphate groups that are held together with high energy bonds is the structure of ____
A
ATP
B
ADP
C
Breaking bond
D
Carbon based molecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleic acid adenosine triphosphate (ATP), made up of an adenine nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, is involved in generating energy for cellular processes. The bonds between the three phosphate groups are high energy bonds, and supply the cell with energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups. These three phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) contains high energy bonds located between each phosphate group. These bonds are known as phosphoric anhydride bonds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thus, ADP has only one high energy bond whereas ATP has two high-energy bonds.
