(a)
Interpretation: To determine the structural difference between ATP and AMP.
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: To determine the structural difference between ADP and GDP.
Concept introduction: Nucleotide is the basic unit required for the formation of nucleic acid which is required for completion of various metabolic reactions. The basic structure of nucleotide consists of three units: nitrogen-containing base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. The nitrogen-containing base and pentose sugar are collectively known as a nucleoside. A nucleoside unit attached to a phosphate group together forms a nucleotide unit. ATP, AMP, ADP, and GDP are examples of nucleotides present in the human body.
