Much of the suitability of ATP as an energy intermediary is related to the instability of the bonds between the phosphate groups. Why is there so much energy released in the cleavage of a phosphate from ATP? Select one: O The bonds between the phosphate groups are unusually strong and breaking them releases free energy. They are hydrogen bonds, which are only about 10% as strong as covalent bonds. The negatively charged phosphate groups repel one another and the terminal phosphate group is more stable in water than it is in ATP The valence electrons in the phosphorus atom have less energy on average than those of other atoms.
