Jaime Curry · Answer 1

ATP, or Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation:

The energy molecule of a cell is called ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). Cells make this molecule through the process of cellular respiration. Cells use this ATP to transfer molecules and atoms across the cell membrane.

Diamond · Answer 2

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
