Energy is the ability to do work which is stored in the body inform of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is comprised of a base Adenine, a ribose sugar (5 carbon sugar) and three phosphate groups. when a bond is broken energy is released and when a bond is formed energy is stored. ATP is used by cells as a source of energy such that ATP can easily release or store energy by breaking the chemical bonds and reforming the bonds between its phosphate group. The correct answer is c, phosphate- phosphate bond
