Solution
The correct option is C ATP. The energy stored in the cells of a living body is stored in the form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP molecule is composed of three components. At the centre is a sugar molecule, ribose attached to one side of this is a base (a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms); in this case, the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of phosphate groups.
