ATP differs from the nucleotides found in DNA in the Select one: a. use of uracil in the nitrogenous base portion of the molecule. b. use of phosphate instead of sulfate in the backbone. c. use of phosphorus in the nitrogenous base portion of the molecule. d. sugar portion of the molecule. e. use of adenosine instead of adenine.

Respuesta :

Answer: Option D

The sugar portion of the molecule

Explanation:

In the nucleotides found in the DNA, the nitrogenous bases (A, G, C,T) are attached to a deoxyribose sugar but in the RNA, the bases (A, G, C, U) are attached to a ribose sugar.

In ATP, the nitrogenous base adenine is attached to a ribose sugar giving rise to adenosine. Adenosine is then bonded to three phosphate groups giving rise to Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
