Final answer:

Excess ATP is converted to ADP and Inorganic Phosphate through cellular work, whereas excess glucose is usually stored as glycogen for later use.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is an excess of ATP and glucose within a cell, typically, the body will store the glucose for later use as glycogen, which is a process called glycogenesis.

However, if we consider just the direct utilization of ATP and glucose, the excess ATP can lead to the production of Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and Inorganic Phosphate (Pi) as a result of the ATP being used for cellular work and reverting to ADP and Pi in the process. It's essential to note that the body tightly regulates the level of glucose and ATP to maintain homeostasis.
