Adenosine plus 3 phosphates, called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
ATP which is the energy molecule used by all cells
"DNA is essentially made up of a sequence of nucleotides, each of which are associated with one molecule of phosphate." This is true, however not completely. Let's look at an example. Say we have a DNA molecule that is 10 base pairs long ( double stranded, so actually has 20 bases). The statement suggests we would have 20 phosphates in this molecule of DNA. However, we actually have 24. This is because the nucleotides situated at the 5' terminals of each strand have 3 phosphates rather than one. Since we have 2 5' terminals we have an excess of 4 phosphates which we did not account earlier, so instead of 20, we are now at 24 phosphates.
mabey it depends
Both ! Both are made of nucleotides : phosphate-ribose-nucleic acid. The strands are made by the linkage of phosphates on riboses : P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-etc. The difference between DNA and RNA is that the ribose molecule is dehydrated (DNA) or not (RNA). DNA means DeoxyriboNucleic Acid RNA means RiboNucleic Acid
An example of this form of molecule is the monosaccharide glucose, which like all hexose monosaccharides has the formula C6H12O6. It is stored in plant cells as the polysaccharide starch, whereas in animal cells it is stored as glycogen.
Adenosine plus 3 phosphates, called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
ATP which is the energy molecule used by all cells
The energy in ATP is stored as potential energy in the triphosphate attached to the end. The molecule wants to remove one of the phosphates, when it does so, it releases large amounts of energy.
In biology ATP is energy rich , it is made up of adenosine , ribose and phosphates .

In the phosphate tails of the molecule. These three phosphate groups contain two charged oxygen's apiece and thes naturally repel each other which makes the molecule have unstable tails which have much potential energy released in oxidative phosphorylation.
Adenosine diphosphate or (ADP) is a compound that looks almost like ATP, except that it has two phosphate groups instead of three. This difference is the key to the way in which living things store energy. When a cell has energy available, it can store small amounts of it by adding a phospate group to ADP molecules, producing ATP.
Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These are broken down to simple sugars during digestion and metabolism. Glucose is a monosaccharide (sugar) which is readily used by the body for energy in the form of high energy phosphates like ATP. Glucose is made from carbohydrate.
