Answer 2

ANSWER : ATP contains energy in the chemical bonds between its phosphate groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP or adenine triphosphate is a small, energy carrying molecule. It is the main source of energy for humans, plants as well as animals. ATP is made from

Adenine (a nitrogenous base)

Ribose ( Ribose is a five carbon sugar)

Three groups of phosphates which are the alpha, beta and gamma phosphates.

The bondings between the alpha and beta phosphates contain high levels of energy. Breakage in these bonds results in releasing high amounts of energy which is used for the cellular mechanisms.
