Answer 1

Energy is released from molecules to power cellular functions primarily through the process where an ATP molecule releases a phosphate group, forming ADP. This release of a phosphate group from ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to form ADP (adenosine diphosphate) liberates energy that can be used for various cellular activities.
