Nataly [62]

Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is a compound that stores and provides the energy required to perform a variety of biochemical processes in living beings.

After being consumed, it losses one or two of its phosphates and becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

It can also act as a coenzyme and be a precursor to DNA and ARN because it is a nucleic acid.

Each molecule of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, formed by an adenine (a nitrogenous base), a ribose (a sugar), and triphosphate.

This means the correct answer is A) nucleic acid

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Apoprotein

Explanation:

A peptide is a molecule formed as a result of the linking of amino acid molecules by a peptide bond. The peptide is the backbone of polypeptides and subsequently, protein molecules. Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serve as biological catalysts. The prosthetic group of a protein/enzyme is a metallic attachment to the protein, which plays roles that are vital to its functioning.

However, when the peptide portion of a protein molecule lack its prosthetic group, the protein is called an APOPROTEIN.
