A
in the bond between the second and third phosphate
B
in the bond between the first and second phosphate
C
in the bond between the adenosine and the first phosphate
D
I like turtles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups. ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The majority of energy in an ATP molecule is stored in the bond between the last and middle phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP.
