Question

what is the structure of ATP molecule?

Answer 1

ADP and phosphate group

Answer 2

Yeah, he's right.

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.
An ATP molecule has Adenosine, and THREE Phosphate groups.

~~~~~~~

Here, take a look at the picture of the ATP molecule.

Let's look at the picture, from left to right.

You see those three P's (phosphate) that are surrounded by the O's (oxygen)? Those are the three phosphate groups.

Now, there's also the adenosine.
ADENOSINE is made of two things: a RIBOSE sugar and an ADENINE ring.

You see the pentagon, with the O (oxygen) and the OH (hydroxide)? That's the RIBOSE sugar.

You see the last group, on the right, with the N's (nitrogen) and the NH2? That's the ADENINE ring.

~~~~~~~~~~

So, once again, ATP has ADENOSINE and three PHOSPHATE groups.

And the ADENOSINE is made of a RIBOSE sugar, and an ADENINE ring.

Answer 3

Oh here's an even better picture for you. It's labeled and everything.

The three PHOSPHATE groups are yellow.

The RIBOSE sugar is blue.

The ADENINE ring is green.

Answer 4

Strange...i had put the same thing and mine was erased...
Well...just to be in so....

Answer 5

ATP Is A Nucleotide
Nucleotides are bonded molecules which form the structure of DNA and RNA.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate ) is a building block of DNA and RNA. D-ribose is a main component of RNA. Nucleotides are also required for metabolism in which energy is released.
