Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the four major types of biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Understand that ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells.
Recognize that ATP is composed of an adenine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
Recall that nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids and consist of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups.
Conclude that ATP is a nucleotide because it contains a nitrogenous base (adenine), a sugar (ribose), and phosphate groups.
