Where Is the Chemical Energy Stored in Atp
Energy is stored in the covalent bonds between phosphates, with the greatest amount of energy (approximately 7 kcal/mole) in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Why is ATP used for energy storage?

ATP is an unstable molecule therefore it releases the energy stored readily and quickly, this is essential for metabolic processes in the cell such as active transport and protein synhesis.

Where did the energy in the ATP come from trace the energy in the ATP molecules back to the sun?

Trace the energy in the ATP molecules back to the sun. Our energy comes from ATP which is made using the sugar in our food. Our food has energy from plants and animals when they get ATP from the sun by either eating plants or by photosynthesis.
