Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

ATP is known as the universal currency of energy. ATP is a phosphorylated nucleotide which is known as a ‘high energy’ molecule. It is made of an organic base, adenine, a 5 carbon sugar named ____ and three phosphate groups.

A	Ribose
B	Water
C	Hydrolysis
D	Active-Transport

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP is referred to as currency because it can be “spent” in order to make chemical reactions occur. The more energy required for a chemical reaction, the more ATP molecules must be spent. Virtually all forms of life use ATP, a nearly universal molecule of energy transfer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each nucleotide consists of an organic base, ribose sugar and phosphate group. ATP is a nucleotide with two extra phosphate groups! This is the reason for the term ‘phosphorylated nucleotide’.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP – Adenosine triphosphate is called the energy currency of the cell. It is the organic compound composed of the phosphate groups, adenine, and the sugar ribose. These molecules provide energy for various biochemical processes in the body. Therefore, it is called “Energy Currency of the Cell”.

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