C. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) has three phosphate groups attached. Each one of the groups occupies an extremely high energy bond (free energy that can do work). In muscle contraction, that high-energy bond is broken and the energy is released for muscle contraction. So when the bond is broken, you end up with ADP (Adenosine Dipohosphate) - broken down.

While Acromegaly occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory disorders and malignancies. </span>
