The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding ATP**: ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is a crucial energy carrier in cells. It consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups. 2. **Identifying the Components of ATP**: - **Adenosine**: This part of ATP is made up of a nitrogenous base (adenine) and a ribose sugar. - **Phosphate Groups**: There are three phosphate groups attached to the ribose sugar. 3. **Analyzing the Mineral Elements**: - The mineral elements in ATP include: - **Nitrogen (N)**: Present in the adenine base. - **Phosphorus (P)**: Present in the phosphate groups. - Other elements mentioned in the question (magnesium, iron, sulfur) are not components of ATP. 4. **Conclusion**: The mineral elements found in ATP are nitrogen and phosphorus. ### Final Answer: The mineral elements in ATP are **Nitrogen and Phosphorus**. ---
