Question
The figure below shows the process in which energy is released from ATP during cellular respiration.

**Diagram Explanation:**

1. **ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate):**
   - Composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups (labelled as P).
   - Represented on the left side of the diagram.

2. **Energy Release:**
   - When ATP loses one phosphate group, energy is released.
   - This process is demonstrated by the arrow pointing towards the energy symbol.

3. **ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate):**
   - Formed when one phosphate group is removed from ATP.
   - Shown on the right side of the diagram with two phosphates attached to adenosine.

4. **Phosphate Transfer:**
   - The removed phosphate is transferred to another molecule, illustrated by the separated phosphate on the right.

**Options Below the Diagram:**

- A: ADP can perform cellular work when it binds to an additional phosphate group.
- B: ATP can perform cellular work when it releases a phosphate group.
- C: ATP can be converted to ADP by adding a phosphate group.
- **D: Energy is released from ATP during the process of cellular respiration.** (Highlighted as the correct explanation)
