The phosphorylation of ATP makes it less stable, facilitating its hydrolysis to ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) and releasing energy stored in the terminal phosphate bond.

|---|---|
| Back | ATP is high energy, phosphorylation makes it less stable, readily hydrolysed to ADP + Pi releasing energy stored in the terminal phosphate bond |
