ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What macromolecule is ATP?
A
Lipid
B
Nucleic Acid
C
Protein
D
Carbohydrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP consists of a ribose sugar with a purine called Adenine attached to its 1’ position and three phosphate groups attached to the 6’ position by a phosphodiester bond. ATP is a nucleic acid by nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine triphosphate is a type of macromolecule known as a nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are long changes of monomers that contain phosphate groups, sugars, and at least one nitrogen atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -ATP is a nucleotide that consists of three main structures: the nitrogenous base, adenine; the sugar, ribose; and a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose.
