What is the correct description of the components of an ATP molecule?

ATP is composed of adenosine (which is made up of an adenine ring and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups (which is the triphosphate part). Additionally, the phosphate groups are referred to as the alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ) phosphates (the closest phosphoryl group to the ribose sugar being α, the next β and the furthest one from the ribose being γ).
So all in all, you could say there are three components: the adenine ring and the ribose ring (which make the adenine) plus the α, β and γ phosphate groups (the triphosphate part).

the adenine
Name the component parts of a molecule of ATP?
The three components are known as adenosine triphosphate. One of the components is phosphate. Ribose is a pentose sugar. Adenine is a purine base.
