For energy to be released from ATP, a phosphate group is broken from the molecule. This process is known as hydrolysis, where the terminal phosphate group is cleaved off, resulting in adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate, and releasing energy that can be used for various cellular processes.
