Is ATP a nucleotide?
Posted May 9, 2023
Answer
Yes, ATP is a nucleotide.
A nucleotide is a small molecule made up of a pentose sugar (ribose), a nitrogen base, and one or more phosphate groups.
ATP is composed of a ribose sugar, a nitrogenous base (adenine), and three serially bonded phosphate groups, hence it is a nucleotide.
