Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What energy molecule is made up of nucleic acids?
A
glucose
B
ATP
C
peptase
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleic acid adenosine triphosphate (ATP), made up of an adenine nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, is involved in generating energy for cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The form of energy that is in ATP is called chemical energy. Chemical energy is a type of potential energy and is stored energy within chemical bonds. ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is a molecule with an adenine nucleotide attached to three phosphate groups. The bonds between the phosphate groups store the energy in ATP.

Detailed explanation-5: -ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups.
