What results from the removal of a phosphate group from ATP?

Question 12 options:

the production of mechanical energy

the release of energy

the creation of energy

the absorption of energy by chlorophyll

the release of energy

Explanation:

The energy released by ATP is released when a phosphate group is removed from the molecule. When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
