How is energy stored in ATP?
In the phosphate tails of the molecule. These three phosphate groups contain two charged oxygen's apiece and thes naturally repel each other which makes the molecule have unstable tails which have much potential energy released in oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the key component of the energy molecule ATP?
The key component of the energy molecule, ATP is the ribose.
Which molecule is the immediate source of energy for cells?
phosphate
Where in the ATP molecule is the energy located?

Where is the energy stored in a molecule of ATP?
Energy is held in a molecule in several ways:translational energy - the kinetic energy of the molecule depending on its mass and velocityrotational energy - the energy of the spinning of the moleculevibrational energy - the energy of the atoms of the molecule vibrating closer and further from one another - stretching and compressing the bonds. The flexing/bending of the bonds is a special case of this. Of course there is energy in the bonds themselves which when broken can be a source of energy and when formed store energynuclear energy - the binding energies in the nucleus of each atom. Unless you are looking at nuclear decay or some other kind of nuclear reaction, this is not normally an energy you consider when thinking about energy held in a molecule
What is a molecule that stores energy by linking negatively charged phosphate groups near each other?
Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
How is energy stored in ATP?
In the phosphate tails of the molecule. These three phosphate groups contain two charged oxygen's apiece and thes naturally repel each other which makes the molecule have unstable tails which have much potential energy released in oxidative phosphorylation.
Where is energy stored in the molecule of ATP?
An ATP molecule is made of ribose, adenosine, and phosphate. The energy is stored within the bonds of the phosphate molecules.
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups?
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived from its three phosphate groups that are linked by phosphate bonds. The energy of ATP is locked within these bonds.
What is the key component of the energy molecule ATP?
The key component of the energy molecule, ATP is the ribose.
When a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule what type of molecule is formed?
when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.
Which molecule is the immediate source of energy for cells?
phosphate
What bond in ATP breaks to release energy during the formation of ADP?
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.
What ATP bond is broken to release energy?
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.

What molecule is formed when ATP loses a phosphate group and releases energy?
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) Technically, ATP breaks into ADP and a molecule of inorganic phosphate.
Do energy molecules contain phosphate?
Yes. The energy-storage molecule, ATP, is adenosine triphosphate.
