Detailed explanation-1: -Final Answer: The energy released during respiration is stored in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -When the cell has extra energy (gained from breaking down food that has been consumed or, in the case of plants, made via photosynthesis), it stores that energy by reattaching a free phosphate molecule to ADP, turning it back into ATP. The ATP molecule is just like a rechargeable battery.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is also formed from the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of a cell. This can be through aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen, or anaerobic respiration, which does not. Aerobic respiration produces ATP (along with carbon dioxide and water) from glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The energy released during respiration is stored in the form of ATP in mitochondria. The mitochondria release ATP whenever energy is needed. ATP is broken down to get energy. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-5: -Potential energy is stored in an ATP molecule. It is like a battery that is ready to be used. When the cell needs energy it will break a phosphate bond within the ATP molecule and release energy for the cell to use.
