Step by step solution

01

Describe what is an AMP?

Adenosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP) is a key compound in the energy-producing process of living cells. The nucleotide base adenine (A) is connected to the sugar ribose (five-membered ring), which is coupled to a linear "tail" of one phosphate group. Adenosine 5’-monophosphate is an organic component of RNA.

02

Give the structure of adenosine 5’-monophosphate.

The structure of adenosine 5’-monophosphate is drawn as follows:
