Question

ATP contains:(a) adenine, ribose and three phosphate groups(b) adenine and phosphate(c) only ribose sugar(d) none of the above

Answer 1

" a "

ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate
This is the energy currency of a life.

ATP is high energy molecule found in every cell.

Its job is to store and supply the cell with needed energy.

Answer 2

ATP contains:(a) adenine, ribose and three phosphate groups.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency or coin of the cell.

Structurally, ATP comprises of the Adenine nucleotide (ribose sugar, adenine base, and phosphate group, PO4-2) plus two other phosphate groups.

The chemical reaction for ATP formation is:-

a)  ADP + Pi + energy ----> ATP

Adenosine diphosphate + inorganic Phosphate + energy produces Adenosine Triphosphate

ATP was discovered in 1929 by Karl Lohmann and Jendrassik. Alexander Todd first synthesized ATP in the laboratory in 1948.

Hope it helps.
