ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a component of ATP?
A
Glucose
B
Adenosine
C
Phosphate
D
Ribose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer : Glucose is not a component of ATP. Explanation : ATP-Adenosine Tri…

Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of ATP synthesis occurs in cellular respiration within the mitochondrial matrix: generating approximately thirty-two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose that is oxidized.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: B. Cofactor is not a part of an ATP molecule. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate where an adenine molecule (a nitrogenous base) is linked to the ribose sugar and the phosphate bonds.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATP consists of a base, in this case adenine (red), a ribose (magenta) and a phosphate chain (blue).

Detailed explanation-5: -ATP is adenosine triphosphate. It consists of a nitrogenous compound called adenine, a pentose sugar called ribose and 3 phosphate molecules.
