Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The energy is stored in the links that connect the phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The word triphosphate indicates that the molecule has 3 phosphate groups. ATP stores energy within the bonds between phosphate groups, especially the second and third. This bond is a source of potential chemical energy, and it’s kind of like a compressed spring.
Detailed explanation-3: -This chemical energy is stored in the pyrophosphate bond, which lies between the last two phosphate groups of ATP. When the cells need energy to do any work, ATP cleaves the third phosphate group, releasing a large amount of energy stored in the bond between the third and second phosphate group.
Detailed explanation-4: -The phosphate tail of ATP is the actual power source which the cell taps. Available energy is contained in the bonds between the phosphates and is released when they are broken, which occurs through the addition of a water molecule (a process called hydrolysis).
Detailed explanation-5: -The chemical bond between the second and third phosphate groups is a high energy bond. When that bond is broken, energy is released, producing ADP (adenosine diphosphate). The energy released is used by the cell to do work.
