ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores a lot of energy in the covalent bonds between the atoms, it contains many of these which when broken down release energy.

This is why plants store energy as starch. Starch is a large molecule of many covalent bonds, that again when broken release energy.

the phosphate atoms are charged. charged particles do not like to stay close to each other and so there is enormous energy trapped in their bonds

Why does ATP have high potential E?

ATP has high potential energy due to the presence of three phosphate groups that are negatively charged and electrostatically repel each other. This repulsion leads to a high-energy bond between the phosphate groups, which is then used to drive cellular processes that require energy.

In which structure, ATP or ADP, is more energy stored?

More energy is stored in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) compared to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), due to the presence of three phosphate groups in ATP compared to two in ADP. The third phosphate group in ATP represents high-energy bonds that can be readily broken to release energy for cellular processes.
