Answer:

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecule shown in the figure is an ATP molecule, also known as Adenosine triphosphate. This molecule is formed by three structures, a phosphate group (represented in the figure by the 3 "P"), a rigose (represented in the figure by the central figure) and an adenine molecule.

ATP is the cell's energy currency and is formed during the process of cellular respiration.
