Question

In the given structure of 'energy currency' molecule, identify A, B and C.

• A. A - Phosphate, B - Adenine, C - Ribose
• B. A - Adenine, B - Ribose, C - Phosphate
• C. A - Phosphate, B - Ribose, C - Adenine
• D. A - Ribose, B - Phosphate, C - Adenine

Answer 1

The correct option is C A - Phosphate, B - Ribose, C - Adenine

ATP: Adenosine triphosphate is the energy currency of the cell. It consists of an adenine molecule, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups. In the image, 'A' represents the 3 phosphate groups, 'B' represents the ribose sugar and 'C' represents adenine.
