    The correct answer is A molecule consisting of three phosphate groups, ribose, and adenine.

    Explanation:

    ATP means adenosine triphosphate, and it is a molecule which has a very important role in energy transfer in the cells. As its name says, it is composed by:

    - adenine: a purine base, which is also a component of nucleic acids.

    - ribose: a 5-carbon sugar (in contrast to deoxyribose, ribose has a - OH group in place of a - H group in carbon 2)

    - three phosphate groups

    Notice that adenine bonded to the ribose is called adenosine.
