Question

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

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.

Answer 1

Option A. The correct description of the components of the ATP molecule is the following: the fundamental nucleotide in obtaining cellular energy, is formed by a nitrogen base linked to carbon and in turn, binds to the ribose which east linked to three groups of phosphate.
