Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A nucleotide consists of a nitrogen - containing base (the hexagonal structure), a five - carbon sugar (the pentagonal structure), and a phosphate group (the yellow structure with P). ADP has two phosphate groups and ATP has three phosphate groups. A nucleoside is just a nitrogenous base and a sugar without the phosphate group. The given molecule has a phosphate group, a sugar, and a base, so it is a nucleotide.
