ATP doesn't exactly become broken down, rather, they become dephosphorylated when they transfer the energy between their phosphate bonds and become ADP or AMP.

Which part of the ATP molecule breaks free of the rest when an ATP molecule is used for energy?

The phosphate group is the part of the ATP molecule that breaks free when ATP is used for energy, converting ATP to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This release of the phosphate group provides the energy needed for cellular processes.

What is the energy molecule that breaks apart in the muscle cell to yield energy?

The energy molecule that breaks apart in a muscle cell to yield energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When ATP is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), energy is released that fuels muscle contraction.
