Detailed explanation-1: -The pyrophosphate bond, which connects the second and third phosphate groups in the ATP molecule, is one such covalent bond that stores energy. In the inner membranes of mitochondria, ADP is converted to ATP through a process called chemiosmosis phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-2: -ADP is continually converted to ATP by the addition of a phosphate during the process of cellular respiration. ATP carries much more energy than ADP. As the cell requires more energy, it uses energy from the breakdown of food molecules to attach a free phosphate group to an ADP molecule in order to make ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the cell has extra energy (gained from breaking down food that has been consumed or, in the case of plants, made via photosynthesis), it stores that energy by reattaching a free phosphate molecule to ADP, turning it back into ATP. The ATP molecule is just like a rechargeable battery.
