Best Answer

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.
