Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The energy that is required for the metabolic processes are stored in the form of high energy molecules known as adenosine tri phosphate.

The formation of the adenosine triphosphate molecules occurs when the breakdown of the of molecules such as carbohydrates, fats and protein are broken down to release energy which is stored in the bonds of the ATP.
