hello! I hope this helps

Answer: ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is considered as the energy currency of the cell as it stores energy in the cell. It is an example of chemical potential energy because energy is stored in the high energy containing phosphoanhydride bond (between phosphate molecules in the ATP).
