Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The word triphosphate indicates that the molecule has 3 phosphate groups. ATP stores energy within the bonds between phosphate groups, especially the second and third.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: An ATP molecule contains three phosphate groups.
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 composed of an adenine ring, ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups (triphosphate). The groups of the phosphate group are usually called the alpha (), beta (), and gamma () phosphates.
