1. Atoms and bonds. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is one of the important biomolecules in all living cells. Its structure serves as review of your prior knowledge of organic chemistry. A) Using a pencil, draw the stereospecific structure of ATP. Be sure to show all atoms and all bonds (see section 4.1 of your textbook). .U.S B) In the structure you have drawn above, differentiate between polar and non-polar atoms. [Using a red pen, write partial and full electric charges on polar atoms: 7-, 8+, 1- and 1+. Using a blue pen, draw circles around nonpolar atoms.] C) In the structure above, number the atoms in the base and sugar. Indicate the chiral carbon atoms with a star (*). D) Identify the major chemical groups (carbonyl, amino, alcohol, etc.) and chemical bonds (ester, glycosidic, phosphoanhydride, etc.) found in ATP. 1. Which carbon atom is linked to the amino group? 2. How many free hydroxyl groups are found in the sugar? 3. Which carbons of the sugar are involved in ester bonds? 4. Which carbon of the sugar is involved in a glycosidic bond? 5. What is the hybridization state of the carbon atoms ... in the sugar? in the adenine base? E) What is the difference between "adenine" and "adenosine
