Solution
The correct option is A ATP ATP is an Adenosine triphosphate (ribose sugar, adenine base, and three phosphate groups), where a high energy bond attaches the third phosphate group to the molecule. The highly unstable bonds break to release the inorganic phosphate to fulfill the energy required for the metabolism.
