Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Energy is released from ATP when the bond is broken between ____
A
phosphate molecules
B
adenosine and phosphates
C
hydrogen and oxygen
D
all of the answer choices are correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP is an energy rich molecule in which the energy is stored in the bonds between phosphate groups. Removal of one phosphate molecule from ATP forms ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) releasing energy. One more phosphate molecule can be removed from this forming AMP (Adenosine monophosphate ) and this further releases energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic reaction process by which chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released after splitting these bonds, for example in muscles, by producing work in the form of mechanical energy.
