wich one is it thank u

To release energy from an ATP molecule, a phosphate group must be removed from an ATP molecule.

Explanation:

ATP is a molecule responsible for the storage, transport and transfer of energy necessary for metabolic reactions. It is a molecule formed by adenine, a ribose and three phosphate groups. The bonds between the phosphate groups are high-energy bonds.

When a phosphate group separates from the ATP molecule, the rupture of the linkage produces the release of energy —equivalent to 30.5 kJ/mol— which is used by the organism to fulfill its vital functions.

The other options are not correct because:

a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
