Question

the difference between atp and nucleoside triphosphates used in dna synthesis is...?
nucleoside triphosphates have deoxyribose and atp has ribose
nucleoside triphosphates have two phosphate groups and atp has three phosphate groups
atp has three high - energy bonds and nucleoside triphosphates have two high - energy bonds
atp is only in human cells and nucleoside triphosphates are in other animal and plant cells
triphosphate monomers are active in nucleoside triphosphates, but not in atp

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine - triphosphate) has ribose sugar. Nucleoside triphosphates used in DNA synthesis have deoxyribose sugar. This is a key structural difference. Nucleoside triphosphates in DNA synthesis are dNTPs (deoxy - nucleoside triphosphates). Both ATP and nucleoside triphosphates have three phosphate groups and two high - energy bonds. ATP is present in all living cells. Triphosphate monomers are active in both.

Answer:

Nucleoside triphosphates have deoxyribose and ATP has ribose
