Answer;

-ADP

When ATP loses a phosphate, energy is released and ADP is formed

Explanation;

In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP.

The most common is a molecule that we call ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). ATP is a nucleic acid containing three high energy phosphate groups. It breaks off these groups to release measured amounts of energy.

When ATP loses one phosphate group, it becomes Adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
