Answer:
The correct answer is - B. breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd.
Step-by-step explanation:
ATP molecule is known as cellular currency as it provides energy for cellular functions. ATP released energy when one phosphate group is removed or eliminated by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond. The rebreaking of this bond and removal is known as hydrolysis, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups provides a very high amount of energy. There is also additional energy released when phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
