In the context of Gibbs free energy and ATP hydrolysis, where is most of the usable free energy of ATP primarily associated?
A
In the electrostatic repulsion and resonance stabilization differences associated with the phosphoanhydride bonds between the phosphate groups
B
In the ribose sugar via oxidation of its hydroxyl groups during ATP hydrolysis
C
In the adenine base through aromatic ring electron delocalization that is released upon hydrolysis
D
In the terminal phosphate because breaking any chemical bond directly releases energy regardless of products
