The difference between ATP and the nucleoside triphosphates used during DNA synthesis is that:

1. The nucleoside triphosphates have the sugar deoxyribose; ATP has the sugar ribose.
2. The nucleoside triphosphates have two phosphate groups; ATP has three phosphate groups.
3. ATP contains three high-energy bonds; the nucleoside triphosphates have two.
4. ATP is found only in human cells; the nucleoside triphosphates are found in all animal and plant cells.
