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: -NADH and FADH2 give their electrons to what is called the electron transport chain, which uses the electrons to generate new ATP molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is the main source of fuel that our cells’ mitochondria use to convert caloric energy from food into ATP, which is an energy form that can be used by cells. ATP is made via a process called cellular respiration that occurs in the mitochondria of a cell.
