Fats are a better source of energy than carbohydrates on a per carbon basis because one triglyceride molecule yields three fatty acid molecules.

Zepler [3.9K]

Not sure what you mean by "witch label" but energy is released from ATP when one of the three phosphates is separated from the rest, converting ATP into ADP and releasing energy. I believe the process is just called ATP hydrolysis although there may be a term I'm unaware of.
