ATP stores more chemical energy than ADP and phosphate
The energy is stored in the phosphate groups that are bonded to the adenosine molecule. This energy is released whenever the phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. Therefore, ATP, tri-phosphate, has more energy than ADP, di-phosphate, which has more energy than AMP, mono-phosphate.
