<h2>Answer:</h2>

When the bond between the second and third phosphate is broken down in different cellular processes huge amount of energy like 7.3 K cal is released.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

ATP is the energy currency for the cells. Cells produce this currency in mitochondria via respiration.
As the energy is stored in the electrons involved in the boding between Gama phosphate and beta phosphate.
Formation of this energy requires a huge amount of energy and its breakdown also release that energy.
