Answer:

These phosphate groups are linked to one another by two high-energy bonds called phosphoanhydride bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
