Answer:

ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is an energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and release it tp fuel other cellular processes. ATP is not a storage molecule for chemical energy; that is the job of carbohydrates, such as glucose and fats. When energy is needed by the cell, it is converted from storage molecules into ATP. ATP then serves as a shuttle, delivering energy to places within the cell where energy-consuming activities are taking place.
