Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy that is stored in ATP can be used to derive the various processes of the body.

The third bond in the ATP is loosely bonded with the molecules which is broken down to allow more stronger bonds to form and provide energy for the cellular processes.

Through the process of cellular respiration the bonds are broken releasing the potential energy of the molecules in the form of kinetic energy that is used by the cells to do work.
