Question

Nucleotide found free in the cells is

• A. cAMP
• B. AMP
• C. ADP
• D. ATP

Answer 1

The correct option is D ATP

The sugars which are present in the nucleotide are ribose or deoxyribose. The nitrogenous bases are purines and pyrimidines. The phosphate is present as phosphoric acid. The nucleotide is formed by the union of a phosphate group with a nucleoside.

ATP is known as energy currency of the cell and it is formed by the combination of adenine as the nitrogenous base, ribose sugar, and triphosphate. It is found in free cells which breaks to form energy by breaking it's high energy phosphate bonds.

So, the correct answer is option D.
