False. ATP Adenine TRI Phosphate contains three phosphate groups.
When an ATP molecule is used for energy, it becomes an ADP molecule (D= DI). This ADP molecule has two phosphate groups.

True, it does contain two phosphate groups, but it contains a total of three. Sounds like a trick quesiton to me.

False.
The T in ATP stands for "tri" which means three.
ATP = adenosine triphosphate = adenosine with three phosphates.
