A)It stores the energy from the glucose in the bonds between the phosphate groups.

Hope this helped!!

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is A) It stores the energy from the glucose in the bonds between the phosphate groups.

ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is considered as a form of chemical energy as the energy is stored in the high energy phosphoanhydride bonds, which are present between phosphate.

Whenever a body requires energy, glucose is metabolized and produces ATP. The energy from glucose molecule is stored in the ATP.

When ATP is hydrolyzed, it is converted into ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate and the large amount of energy is released.
