Based on what you know of ATP's chemistry, which of the following is MOST likely to have similar functions in energy-management processes? A)lysine (amino acid) B)phospholipids C)guanine nucleotide D)steroids E)potassium ions (K⁺)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a nucleotide that is involved in energy transfer reactions in cells. Guanine nucleotide is structurally similar to ATP and also plays a role in energy transfer reactions. Therefore, guanine nucleotide is the most likely to have similar functions in energy-management processes. Lysine is an amino acid, phospholipids are lipids, steroids are also lipids, and potassium ions are electrolytes, and none of them share similar chemical structures or functions with ATP.
