Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is not a polymer; it is a nucleotide composed of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a sugar (ribose), and three phosphate groups. Polymers are large molecules made from many repeated subunits, whereas ATP is a single molecule with a specific function in energy transfer, not a chain of repeating units.
