Answer:

The correct answer is: ADP has one less phosphate group and stores less energy.

Explanation:

  • ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate. It possesses three phosphates groups linked together by two phosphoanhydride bonds.
  • ADP: Adenosine Diphosphate. It possesses two phosphate groups linked together by one phosphoanhydride bond.
  • ATP or ADP stores energy in the form of their phosphoanhydride bonds (bond between two phosphate groups).
  • ADP possess one phosphoanhydride bond while ATP possess two phosphoanhydride bonds, so ADP stores less energy than ATP.
