bonds between phosphates of ATP.
C

D
chemical bonds of carbon dioxide.
E
double covalent bonds of oxygen molecules.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work.

Detailed explanation-2: -A significant quantity of energy remains stored within the phosphate-phosphate bonds. Through metabolic processes, ATP becomes hydrolyzed into ADP, or further to AMP, and free inorganic phosphate groups. The process of ATP hydrolysis to ADP is energetically favorable, yielding Gibbs-free energy of-7.3 cal/mol.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups in a row. During cellular respiration, energy in food is converted into chemical energy that can be used by cells. This chemical energy is stored in the pyrophosphate bond, which lies between the last two phosphate groups of ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final Answer: The energy released during respiration is stored in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups. These three phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds.
