Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy carrier that the cell uses to power its day to day activities is
A
ATP
B
NADH
C
FADH2
D
glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms on earth. Microorganisms capture and store energy metabolized from food and light sources in the form of ATP. When the cell requires energy, ATP is broken down through hydrolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the primary energy carrier molecule within cells. It is produced from the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration, and can be split into ADP and inorganic phosphate in a process that releases energy to fuel cellular processes.
