O is like the adenine nucleoide of RNA, but with 3 phosphate groups D is broken down completely to CO2 and water as it does its job. More must be acquired from foods rich in ATP O is the universal direct energy source for all cellular work suppies energyfor celular work by transferring high-energy phosphate goups to other molecules

Explanation / Answer

A nucleotide is known as a nitroggenous base bound with ribose or de-oxyribose sugar and a phosphate group.

In ATP, the adenine nitrogenous base is bonded with ribose sugar just like RNA but it has 3 phosphate groups.

ATP works as the energy currency of the cell. It is the ultimate source of energy for all cellular work.

ATP provides energy by providing energy strored in its high energy phosphate bonds. The transfer of phosphate is not mandatory for the dissipation of energy from ATP. The phosphate group after providing energy, are released in the form of inorganic phosphate.

ATP has adenine nitrogenous base, ribose sugar, and phosphate groups. It can never be broken down to CO2 and water.

So, only option 1 and 3 are correct.
