Detailed explanation-1: -Despite being similar in structure, ATP and DNA nucleotides are slightly different. Both contain a pentose sugar (a sugar containing 5 carbon atoms), and a nitrogenous base. A DNA nucleotide contains the sugar deoxyribose, whereas an ATP molecule contains the sugar ribose.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nucleotides attach to each other (A with T, and G with C) to form chemical bonds called base pairs, which connect the two DNA strands.
Detailed explanation-4: -Adenosine triphosphate-ATP-is a molecule derived from adenosine phosphate, one of the four subunits of RNA (nucleotides).
