Answer:

A water molecule

Step-by-step explanation:

The removal of a phosphate molecule from ATP to form ADP is a hydrolysis reaction. Hydrolysis reactions require water and release energy.

The converse reaction - when a phosphate is added to a molecule of ADP to form ATP - releases water and requires energy.
