The correct response is:
B - in the bonds between phosphate groups
The energy in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is primarily stored in the high-energy phosphate bonds, particularly the bonds between the second and third phosphate groups. When these bonds are broken, energy is released, which can be used for various cellular processes.
