ATP(<span>Adenosine Triphosphate) is a small molecule used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular  energy transfer.
</span><span>
Three components of an ATP molecule:
      -At the centre is a sugar molecule,ribose( the same sugar that forms the basis of RNA). Attached to one side of this 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 three phosphate groups.

  ATP is used to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism. </span>

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

B) a sequence of three nucleotides

Explanation:

A codon is the sequence of three nucleotides that decide that which particular amino acid would be incorporated in the polypeptide chain. Each codon code for a particular amino acid and responsible for the primary structure of proteins.

During translation the transfer RNA have the anticodon on its one side and amino acid bound to it on its other side. It adds the amino acids to growing polypeptide chain by binding to particular codon on messenger RNA.

Example; AUG is the starting codon for every protein and code for methionine in eukaryotes and anticodon for it is UAC.
