Atp is considered a high-energy compound because energy is released when a bond is broken between
a. the base adenine and the sugar ribose.
b. the adenosine and the phosphate groups.
c. the base adenine and the phosphate groups.
d. the adenosine diphosphate and the third phosphate.
e. all of the bonds release energy as atp is completely broken down.

d. the adenosine diphosphate and the third phosphate.

Explanation:

ATP is the most common energetic complex used by cells. The meaning of ATP is adenosine triphosphate.

The energy realized happens when the phosphate gets hydrolysis and that P-O-P bound is a high energy one.

The final result is ADP and phosphate.

This hydrolysis process it's called dephosphorylation.

the fossil record provides evidence of a common ancestor to many species.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
