Adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ATP, is the chemical molecule that stores and provides/releases energy in cells. ATP is needed by the cells of every living organism and is obtained via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.
Cellular respiration is the process whereby cells breakdown food molecules (sugar) to synthesize energy storing molecules called ATP. Hence, in every tube where cellular respiration is occuring, ATP is the produced molecule that provides energy.
