ATP is considered to be an energy carrier molecule. Where is the energy actually located in this molecule?
2 answers:
ATP is the energy currency of living organism.
It is high energy molecule and provides energy to our body.
The energy releasing equation is
ATP --> ADP + iP + Energy
Where
ATP : Adenosine triphosphate
ADP : adenosine diphosphate
iP : inorganic phosphate
Thus when phosphate bond in ATP is cleaved to give diphosphate and inorganic phosphate energy is released (7.3 kCal approx / per mole)
so answer is
B in the bonds between phosphate groups
The bond is shown in figure as well

Explanation:
According to Bronsted and Lowry an acid is a proton donor and base is a proton acceptor.
Therefore, the equation for the reaction will be as follows.
Here, acts as a base as it is accepting a proton and
acts as an acid because it is donating a proton.
