Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of adenine, ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups.

Adenosine is formed when the purine base adenine combines with the pentose sugar ribose. The base-sugar link is through the 1' carbon of the sugar.

Adenosine can attach a phosphate to its 5' carbon, and this forms adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is one of the nucleotides in RNA.

A second phosphate attaching to the first forms adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and a third attached to the second gives ATP

ADENOSINE triphosphate is also known as ATP, the primary molecule that stores energy in metabolic processes.

Its adenosine, not adenine.

ATP consists of the nitrogenous nucleotide base: Adenine.

and also Ribose, and 3 phosphates.
