Question

Which term best describes the image below?

A: chlorophyll
B: glucose
C: ADP
D: ATP

Answer 1

B.) Glucose

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) is incorrect because chlorophyll consists of a large variety of different molecules.

B.) is correct because the molecule in the image is identical to a glucose molecule. Also, the formula of glucose is C6H12O6, and this matches the elements in the picture.

C.) is incorrect because ADP is a much larger molecule consisting of two phosphate groups, a ribose (sugar), and an adenine (nitrogenous base). The formula is C10H12N5O10P2-3, and this clearly does not match the image.

D.) is incorrect because ATP is a much larger molecule consisting of three phosphate groups, a ribose, and an adenine. The formula of ATP is C10H16N5O13P3, and this does not correspond with the image.
