Question

Where is most of the energy in ATP stored?

Answer 1

Energy and ATP

The ATP molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. In this form, energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions. The energy stored in ATP at one location is released from ATP when the terminal phosphate bond is broken. In this process a phosphate group is detached to yield inorganic phosphate and ADP and results in the liberation of 7.3 kcal/mol (under standard conditions).

Answer 2

The energy of ATP can be stored at one location and moved from one part of cell to another where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
