Welcome back. Here's our next problem. 80 p. stores large amounts of chemical energy because it contains. And our choices are a carbon group to high energy phosphate phosphate bonds, amino groups or sulfa hydro group. Well, let's recall from our content videos what A T. P. Is. Well, it's a den is seen try pass fate so that right there is going to clue us in that we're looking at probably answer be with that phosphate in there and indeed we have the identity scene and then we've got these three phosphate groups. So we've got indeed have to bonds to phosphate phosphate bonds. And these bonds release large amounts of energy when broken. So that is indeed the means by which a teepee stores large amounts of chemical energy with these two bonds. So our correct answer here is choice be too high energy phosphate phosphate bonds as the way A TB stores large amounts of chemical energy. See you in the next video.
