The correct answer is: D.by breaking the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken through a process called hydrolysis. This releases energy that cells use for various functions such as muscle contraction, active transport, and biosynthesis.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

1.By adding another ATP: Adding another ATP does not release energy. ATP must undergo hydrolysis (losing a phosphate group) to release energy. <...
