Question

What are the components of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?

Answer 1

The ATP molecule is made up of three components. It has a base, a sugar, and three phosphates.. The base is aderine (C5H5N5) and the sugar is ribose (C5H10O5).

Answer 2

Answer: The Adenosine triphosphate is the molecule that provides energy to all the living structures like plants, animals and human beings. Energy is required for all the vital processes of the body.

The ATP molecule consists of three components. The sugar lies at the centre (ribose sugar that is found in the RNA).

Both sides of the sugar is attached by two different components. One side of the sugar is attached by the base(adenine) and the other side of the sugar is attached by the phosphate group.

This phosphate molecule is the most important part for the activity of ATP.
