Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP consists of a ribose sugar with a purine called Adenine attached to its 1’ position and three phosphate groups attached to the 6’ position by a phosphodiester bond. ATP is a nucleic acid by nature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adenosine 5’-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
