Question

Identify which of the following statements is NOT true.

1. ATP is formed when energy is released during cell respiration.
2. When ATP becomes ADP + P, the amount of energy released is enough for a biological purpose.
3. ATP is comprised of a sugar, base, and two phosphate groups.
4. ATP contains the energy form used for cellular work.
5. ADP is low in potential energy.

Answer 1

Answer:this was on my test

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

3. ATP is comprised of a sugar, base, and two phosphate groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule made up of

1) A Ribose sugar

2) Adenine ( Nitrogenous Base )

3) Three phosphate groups.

Hence option 3 is wrong as it states that ATP has 2 phosphate groups. Two phosphate groups are present in ADP not ATP.

All the other options are correct except option 3.
