The statement that best explains how energy stored in the chemical bonds of ATP can be released is:
**C. A phosphate is removed by hydrolysis from an ATP molecule.**
When ATP is hydrolyzed, one of its phosphate groups is removed, leading to the formation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi). This reaction releases energy that can be used by the cell for various processes.
