ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores chemical energy in the bonds between its phosphate groups (the high - energy phosphate bonds, specifically the bonds between the second and third phosphate groups, or the bonds between the phosphate groups shown as the wavy lines between the "P" (phosphate) groups in the diagram). When these bonds are broken, energy is released for the cell to use. So the hotspot corresponding to the bonds between the phosphate groups (the wavy lines between the phosphate molecules) is the correct one.
