ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which form of macromolecule monomer is ATP?
A
Nucleotide
B
Carbohydrate
C
Protein
D
Lipid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: 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-2: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that has an important function by itself. ATP is a direct and rapid energy source for most cellular activities. ATP consists of a single adenosine (the nitrogen-containing base adenine and the sugar ribose), linked to three phosphate ions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids are macromolecules, which means they are molecules composed of many smaller molecular units. Thes units are called nucleotides, and they are chemically linked to one another in a chain. In DNA, the nucleotides are referred to in shorthand as A, C, T, and G.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘RNA molecule’
