Chapter 5, Problem 4SQ

Why does removing a phosphate group from the triphosphate tail in a molecule of ATP release energy?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why does removing a phosphate group from the triphosphate tail in a molecule of ATP release energy?
Why does the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP involve the release of energy?
wouldn't ADP, a reactant of the other (phosphorylating) pathway, tend to inhibit the competing non-phosphorylating pathway (in order to get more ATP made)? And the reverse for ATP (whose presence indicates that pathway may not be needed any more)?
