complete
energy is released when bonds are broken.
done ✓
adenosine
ribose
phosphate

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has a structure with three phosphate groups. The energy in ATP is stored in the bonds between phosphate groups. When a phosphate group is removed (i.e., the phosphate bond is broken), energy is released. Adenosine is part of the ATP structure but its bond breaking isn't the main energy - releasing event here. Ribose is a sugar in ATP's structure and breaking its bonds doesn't release the energy associated with ATP's energy - storage function. So the correct answer is phosphate.

Answer:

phosphate
