What is the correct description of the components of an ATP molecule?

A.Adenine, an amino acid, bonds to a five-carbon sugar called ribose. The ribose molecule forms a bond with one phosphate. There are two other phosphate-phosphate bonds that complete the molecule.


B.Nitrogen in adenine, an amino acid, bonds with a series of three phosphate molecules. The phosphate molecules form the "tail of the molecule" and are also attached to ribose, a five-carbon sugar molecule.


C.An amino acid called adenine bonds with a double-ringed sugar molecule called ribose. The ribose molecule forms a bond with one phosphate. There are an additional two phosphate-phosphate bonds to complete the molecule.


D.Nitrogen and carbon bond to an amino acid called adenine. The amino acid bonds to a double-ringed sugar molecule called ribose. Ribose bonds with three phosphate molecules.
