Question

where is most of the energy in atp stored?
○ in the adenine molecule
○ in the ribose sugar
○ in hydrogen bonds
○ in phosphate bonds

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups. The energy is mainly stored in the high - energy phosphate bonds. When these bonds are broken (e.g., during hydrolysis to form ADP - adenosine diphosphate), energy is released. Adenine and ribose are parts of the ATP molecule but do not store the majority of the energy. Hydrogen bonds are not the primary energy - storing feature in ATP.

Answer:

in phosphate bonds
