Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The structure of ATP is most like that of a
A
simple sugar
B
fatty acid
C
amino acid
D
nucleotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘RNA molecule’

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many structural similarities between ATP and DNA nucleotides, with both being made of a pentose sugar, containing a phosphate and also (at least with some DNA nucleotides) containing an adenine base.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘RNA molecule’

Detailed explanation-4: -It is composed of nucleotides that consist of sugar, a nitrogenous base, and phosphate groups. Complete step by step answer: The RNA molecule is structurally similar to an ATP molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Describe how the structure of ATP is similar to and differs from the structure of a DNA nucleotide. Both have pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and an adenine base. DNA can also have guanine, thymine and cytosine but ATP always has adenine. DNA has deoxyribose sugar, but ATP has ribose sugar.
