Which of the following statements is false about ATP? ATP comprises deoxyribose sugar, phosphate groups, and a nitrogenous base. ATP can be incorporated into RNA. ATP is the most commonly used activated carrier. ATP can be hydrolyzed to release energy to power hundreds of reactions in cells. ATP contains two high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds.
Which of the following is not true of ATP? It is created by/uses energy from anabolic reactions. It contains adenine as the nitrogenous base. It is created by/uses energy from catabolic reactions. It contains ribose as the sugar group.
