Question

How does ATP release energy thats stored within the molecule

Answer 1

When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Energy stored in ATP is released by the hydrolysis or breakdown of the ATP.

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP is a small molecule that is the energy centre of a cell. The energy released from ATP is used by cells for various functions.

Hydrolysis of ATP is water mediated breakdown into ADP and is a reversible process. The energy released by ATP is consumed very quickly by the cells and therefore this energy needs to be regenerated in the ATP.
