Answer 1

The correct response is: An ATP molecule releases a phosphate group, forming ADP.

When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) releases one of its phosphate groups, it undergoes hydrolysis, converting to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releasing energy that can be used to power various cellular functions.
