Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ATP stands for what?
A
Aerobic Tri-potassium
B
Adenosine Tri-phosphate
C
Adrenaline Twitch Protein
D
Anaerobic Triple Phosphate
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: -that there are essentially three parts to the ATP molecule: an adenine nucleoside ‘base’, a five-carbon sugar (ribose), and triphosphate. The three phosphates are designated by Greek letters a, b, and g, with the a phosphate being the one closest to the ribose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Attached to one side of this is a base (a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms); in this case the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of phosphate groups. These phosphates are the key to the activity of ATP.
