Question

The full form of ATP is Adenosine triphosphate. If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

Hint: We may hear the word ATP molecules so many times. It is known as an energy currency for the living beings. ATP molecule is providing driving energy to many processes.

Complete step by step answer:
Muscle contractions, nerve impulse propagation and many chemical synthesis are driven by the energy of this organic compound ATP. ATP can be seen in all forms of life in this world. Mainly, it is known as the ‘currency’ of energy for the intracellular energy transfer. ATP molecules are used as a coenzyme in the body. Let us go through the structure of ATP molecules. The structure of ATP molecules consists of three substances, they are a nitrogenous base or adenine, ribose sugar and the triphosphate.

In the structure of ATP, it is made by an adenine attached by the 9-nitrogen atom to the first carbon atom of ribose sugar. This will be attached to the fifth carbon atom of the sugar to a triphosphate group. Therefore, the full form of ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate. In many of the reactions, the adenine and ribose sugar will not undergo any changes but the triphosphate may be converted to diphosphate and monophosphate known respectively as ADP and AMP.

So, the full form of ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate. Therefore, enter 1.

Note: You should know the process of glycolysis in which ATP has a good role. After the glycolysis, it generates two equivalents of ATP and two equivalents of NADH. In glycolysis, the glucose is metabolized to pyruvate.
