Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is (C). The majority of energy in an ATP molecule is stored in the bond between the last and middle phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -These three phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -The last phosphate bond holds the most energy (approx. 7 kcal/mole). It is called the pyrophosphate bond. In order to release it’s energy to the body, ATP breaks down into ADP [Adenosine Diphosphate(2 phosphates)] and an inorganic phosphate group and releases energy from the pyrophosphate bond.
