Question

food is converted to atp, which is the energy molecule used to power many cellular functions. which component is not part of the atp molecule?
○ adenine
○ amino acid
○ phosphate groups
○ ribose

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) consists of adenine (a nitrogenous base), ribose (a 5-carbon sugar), and three phosphate groups. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not components of ATP. Thus, amino acid is not part of the ATP molecule.
