ATP (adenosine triphosphate).


Cells do cellular respiration to extract energy from the bonds of glucose and other food molecules. Cells can store the extracted energy in the form of ATP.
ATP is used by the cell for energy to carry out their functions. For example for muscle contraction, protein synthesis and active transport.
