The difference between atp and the nucleoside triphosphates used during dna synthesis is that:
a. triphosphate monomers are active in the nucleoside triphosphates, but not in atp.
b. the nucleoside triphosphates have two phosphate groups; atp has three phosphate groups.
c. atp contains three high-energy bonds; the nucleoside triphosphates have two.
d. the nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; atp has the sugar ribose.
e. atp is found only in human cells; the nucleoside triphosphates are found in all animal and plant cells.

The correct answer is d. The nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; ATP has the sugar ribose.

Explanation:

The nucleoside triphosphates are components of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) so they are composed by a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine or cytosine) and a deoxyribose sugar. In contraposition, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is composed by the nitrogenous base adenine and a ribose sugar along with three phosphates groups. Unlike ribose, deoxyribose is a 5-carbon sugar which lack of an oxygen atom in C2 position.

oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium.

they're all from the same group as sulfur (group 16).

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
