Question

what bond in an atp molecule is broken to release energy that powers cellular activities? multiple choice bond between phosphate groups bond in adenine between carbon and amino group bond between ribose and adenine bond between ribose and phosphate group

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has a structure with adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups. The high - energy bonds that release energy for cellular activities when broken are the bonds between the phosphate groups (specifically the bond between the second and third phosphate groups). The bond in adenine between carbon and amino group, the bond between ribose and adenine, and the bond between ribose and phosphate group do not release the energy needed for cellular activities when broken.

Answer:

A. bond between phosphate groups
