Answer:

Removed from atp to form adp

Explanation:

ATP (or adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule capable of storing small amounts of energy (from food breakdown) in its chemical bonds.

When cells need energy to perform various metabolic functions, the ATP molecule breaks down (by hydrolysis).

Then, the bond between the second and third phosphate breaks, releasing <u>energy</u>, leaving one ADP (adenosine diphosphate) molecule and a free phosphate group.
