Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is Removed from ATP to form ADP.

Answer: C. Removed from ATP to form ADP

Step-by-step explanation:

Three important energy carrier molecules in a cell are: ATP (Adenosine triphosphate, NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenosine Dinucleotide Phosphate) and FADH2. All the three carrier molecules play an important role in cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

One NADH molecule is equal to 3 ATP molecule while 1 FADH2 molecule is equal to 2 ATP molecule. During the active process, ATP is used as a form of energy because ATP dephosphorylates to ADP and Inorganic phosphate, Pi and release energy.
