Question
what biomolecule is part of the structure of atp, nucleotides, and nucleic acids? a catalase b glucose c ribose d ribulase
Brief Explanations
- Option A: Catalase is an enzyme (protein) that breaks down hydrogen peroxide, not part of ATP/nucleic acid structure.
- Option B: Glucose is a carbohydrate (monosaccharide), used for energy, not in ATP/nucleic acid structure.
- Option C: Ribose is a 5 - carbon sugar. ATP has ribose, nucleotides (monomers of nucleic acids) have a pentose sugar (ribose in RNA - based nucleotides, deoxyribose in DNA - based, but ribose is relevant here), and nucleic acids (RNA) contain ribose. So ribose is part of their structure.
- Option D: Ribulase is not a common biomolecule associated with ATP, nucleotides, or nucleic acids.
