Solution

The correct options are
A Phosphate
B ADP
Energy in living organisms is stored in the bonds of ATP molecule. When energy is required by the cell, a phosphate molecule is removed from ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) forming ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). This releases energy. On further requirement of energy, one more phosphate molecule can be removed from ADP to form AMP (Adenosine monophosphate).
