Ribose - a component of the 'fuel of the cells'
Ribose is an important constituent of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the universal energy carrier in the cell. Together with the base adenine and three phosphate groups it forms the ATP molecule, which, like a battery for electrical devices, provides energy for numerous cellular processes. Ribose is also present in RNA and plays an essential role in energy metabolism... Weiterlesen

Context:
- Composition of ATP: An ATP molecule consists of the nitrogenous base adenine, the sugar ribose and three high‑energy phosphate groups.
- Cellular function: Ribose is therefore one of the indispensable components of the 'fuel' that cells need to fulfil their functions.
- Energy supply: When a cell requires energy, a phosphate group is cleaved from ATP, producing ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releasing energy; ribose remains intact and is reused for the synthesis of new ATP.
