Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The high-energy bonds in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) are the phosphate-oxygen (P-O) bonds, specifically those involved in linking the phosphate groups. These bonds store a significant amount of energy, which is released when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) or AMP (adenosine monophosphate).
