N E is right. The energy comes from the bonds between phosphates, not the phosphates themselves.

b) in the phosphate bonds. when energy is extracted from ATP, the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphates is hydrolyzes, and the energy from that bond is then used to power the mechanism in question, leaving you with ADP. so its ATP hydrolyzed to ADP + P + energy, and since all the original components on the left side of the equation are present on the right side of the equation except for 1 phosphate-to-phosphate bond, theres your proof that the energy lies in the bonds
