The last of the three PO4 groups is broken off releasing energy.
The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.
ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy by adding or breaking off one of the phosphate molecules on its tail. When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it releases energy. Likewise, if an ADP (a ATP with one lose phosphate group than ATP) gains a phosphate group, energy is stored.
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a nucleotide known as ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed.

The terminal phosphate group is broken off. The negative charge on the phosphate groups make them willing to separate.
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. When the body breaks up ATP it simply breaks off a single phosphate group creating Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and energy.

Partially false. Energy is released when phosphate group in ATP is broken apart. This is because there is high energy stored in the bonds as the attached phosphate groups both have a negative charge.
One phosphate group.
adenosine diphosphate
A "high-energy bond" in ATP releases a large amount of energy when the phosphate group is split off during hydrolysis.
