Answer:

ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).

Adenosine Triphosphate is generated during cellular respiration and is the energy currency of all cells. The energy-rich compound is hydrolyzed and the energy released as a result of the breaking down of bond is used to power metabolic activities in the biological cell. During cellular respiration, ADP is converted to ATP by a process known as phosphorylation. One of the 3 phosphate group then become hydrolyzed during metabolic processes for energy funding.
