Question
Which of the following is also known as energy currency?
- ATP
- ADP
- NADP
- NADPH
Hint:
The molecule is a combination of adenine, and ribose sugar with three phosphate bonds.
The correct answer is: ATP
- ATP or adenosine triphosphate is called the energy currency of the cells
- ATP contains a ribose sugar, adenine as the base, and three phosphate bonds
- The molecular formula for ATP is
