The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding ATP, we need to fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms that describe its chemical nature and the elements that form its structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Chemical Nature of ATP**: - ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is known to be a nucleotide. - Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids and consist of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. - Therefore, the first blank (A) can be filled with "a nucleotide". 2. **Identify the Elements that Form the Structure of ATP**: - The structure of ATP includes: - A nitrogenous base (adenine), - A sugar (ribose), - Three phosphate groups. - The elements that are present in ATP include: - Carbon (C), - Hydrogen (H), - Oxygen (O), - Nitrogen (N), - Phosphorus (P). - Thus, the second blank (B) can be filled with "carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus". ### Final Answer: ATP is usually referred to as the energy currency of a cell. It is chemically **(A) a nucleotide** and the set of elements **(B) carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus** forms its structure.
