Questions

  1. 1.

    Which of the following statements correctly describes the chemical composition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the energetic role of its hydrolysis in cellular metabolism?

    • A) ATP consists of deoxyribose, adenine, and three phosphate groups, and the condensation of its terminal phosphate directly releases energy for anabolic reactions.
    • B) ATP consists of ribose, guanine, and three phosphate groups, and the simultaneous removal of all three phosphate groups is required to release metabolic energy.
    • C) ATP consists of a ribose sugar, an adenine base, and two phosphate groups linked by stable ester bonds that absorb thermal energy during cleavage.
    • D) ATP consists of ribose, adenine, and three phosphate groups, and the exergonic hydrolysis of its terminal phosphate bond couples with endergonic cellular processes.
