Best Answer

It is stored in the bond of the last phosphate. When it breaks off, energy is released. The production of ATP is basically the addition of that phosphate to ADP. ADP is adenosine diphosphate. (probably spelled that wrong). ATP is adenosine triphosphate. So basically the ATP is an ADP w/o the last phosphate.

The three phosphate groups are negatively charged due to the four oxygen's bonded to the phosphorous. This makes them very unstable and it is energetically favorable that the groups at least phosphorylate another molecule with one of those phosphate groups.

In the bonds of the phosphate groups.

PO4

This molecule is unstable when three of them bond together in ATP. The oxygen's are charged, at least two per molecule and they tend to repel each other, so this is a highly energetic state that can be used for cellular work.

How can energy be stored in a molecule?

by putting energy into a molecule ------------------------------------------------------------- Energy is mainly of two form. One is matter and the other is radiation. Due to radiation such a photon energy would be given to a molecule. That energy will be stored within the molecule in the form of electromagnetic fields and mechanical too. Sometimes fast moving material particles with their mechanical energy would energize a molecule. That too will be stored in the form of electric or magnetic or mechanical form.
