                                Biochemical studies show that the hydrolysis of ATP releases a significant amount of energy, powering countless cellular processes. But in the trio of ATP, ADP, and AMP, which has the least energy? The answer lies in the number of phosphate groups attached to each molecule, with the lowest number correlating to the lowest potential energy.
