Question

In cells, ATP temporarily stores

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules.

Answer 2

A molecule that temporarily stores energy for cellular activity in all living organisms. ATP is composed of an adenine, a sugar molecule, and a chai of three negatively charged phosphate groups. ... A typ of potential energy in which energy is stored in chemical bonds between atoms or molecules.

So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy stored in the bond that the cell can use to do work.
