Detailed explanation-1: -If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate. The energy holding that phosphate molecule is now released and available to do work for the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -When phosphate bonds are broken in ATP molecules, the energy produced as a result is harnessed by molecules such as enzymes and is used to power biochemical reactions that result in cellular work. ATP can be “re-energized” by adding an inorganic phosphate to a molecule of ADP which in turn will create ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: When one of the phosphates is removed, the energy stored in the covalent bond is released, and the cell is able to do work. The molecule that is left over is called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP. There are two phosphates left attached to the adenine group.
Detailed explanation-4: -When these high energy bonds between the phosphate groups at the end are broken, energy is released for cells to use and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) forms, with one phosphate group left on its own.
