Capture and release of energy by atp (1) energy is released when a high-energy phosphate bond in atp is broken. Just as a battery can be used to provide energy for a variety of uses, the energy from atp can be used to do most of the body"s work - contract muscles, transport compounds, make new molecules, and more. With the loss of a phosphate group, high-energy atp (charged battery) becomes low-energy adp (used battery) (2) energy is required when a phosphate group is attached to adp, making atp.
