ATP has
A
1 Phosphate
B
2 Phosphates
C
3 Phosphates
D
4 Phosphates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups. ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three phosphoryl groups are labeled as alpha (), beta (), and, for the terminal phosphate, gamma ().

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups that can be removed by hydrolysis to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate) or AMP (adenosine monophosphate). If there are no phosphates at all, the molecule is referred to as a “nucleoside", rather than a “nucleotide".
