The answer to this question would be: ATP or adenosine triphosphate

All energy gained will be converted into ATP molecule. When the organism needs energy, the phosphate bond in ATP molecule can be removed to produce the energy stored. In this reaction, the ATP will change into adenosine diphosphate or ADP
