Best Answer

Someone put DNA here initially. This is definitely false. ATP has a five carbon sugar in a furanose configuration with two hydroxyl groups on the 2,3 carbon. If you look at ATP, it has this same configuration. DNA, which is DEOXYribose, lacks one hydroxyl group. They both have adenine as a nitrogenous base, and both have phosphate groups. So, no, DNA is clearly wrong. An RNA nucleotide with adenine is pretty much adenosine triphosphate (minus the 2 phophate groups).
