Which of the following is NOT a part of an ATP molecule? Select one: a. adenine b. ribose c. chlorophyll d. phosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy carrying molecule in all living cells. It is the usable form of energy by cells. Organisms are able to carry out cellular functions using the energy carried by ATP molecules. ATP like other molecules is made up of components that make up its chemical structure.

ATP is composed of three structural components; A five-carbon sugar called RIBOSE at the core of its structure, attached to a nitrogenous base called Adenine and phosphate group (three in ATP). The energy in ATP is released when it loses its phosphate component.

Chlorophyll is a pigment found in the Chloroplast of plant cells. It is another molecule that is made up of its own components e.g nitrogen, magnesium etc.

ATP molecules are made up of adenines, phosphate groups, and ribose sugars only.

ATP is an acronym for Adenosine Triphosphate. ATP is made up of a nitrogenous base known as adenine, 3 serially bonded phosphate group, and ribose sugar. It is the energy currency of living cells.

The chlorophyll is a substance found in the chloroplasts of green plants which confers the ability to absorb sunlight energy for photosynthesis. Thus, chlorophyll is not a part of the ATP molecule.
