Question

The high-energy bonds of ATP are between:

• A. C-C
• B. C-O
• C. C-N
• D. P-P

Answer 1

The correct option is D P-P

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) contains three phosphate groups; the bonds between the phosphate molecules are high-energy bonds. These bonds are known as phosphoric anhydride bonds. On the hydrolysis of ATP, these bonds break and release energy.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
