Answer:

Ribose

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide. It is formed of nitrogenous base, adenine and a pentose sugar, ribose sugar and three phosphate groups (triphosphate). Adenosine triphosphate stores energy in the terminal phosphate bond. It soluble in water with pH range from 6.8 to 7.4. It can be stored as an anhydrous salt.
