Answer:-

ATP Adenosine Triphosphate

Explanation:-

ATP is the name of the high energy compound that cells use directly to fuel other chemical reactions. It is found in all cells. In the mitochondria, every "turn" of the citric acid cycle produces one equivalent of ATP.

ATP + H 2O → ADP + Pi+ energy

ADP is adenosine monophosphate.
