Adenine pentose sugar and single phosphate combine to form A) Adenosine B) Adenylic acid C) Adenosine diphosphate D) Adenosine triphosphate
Adenine pentose sugar and single phosphate combine to form A) Adenosine B) Adenylic acid C) Adenosine diphosphate D) Adenosine triphosphate
Answer
Adenylic acid is formed when adenine (a nitrogenous base) combines with a pentose sugar and a single phosphate group. This structure is known as AMP (adenosine monophosphate).
