Which of the following molecules produced through cellular respiration is the primary source of energy for a cell?
A
ATP
B
ADP
C
NADH
D
FAD
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The body is a complex organism, and as such, it takes energy to maintain proper functioning. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.

Detailed explanation-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.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the process of respiration, oxidation of high energy food substances takes place in the cells of the living organisms to produce energy. The energy released in the process is in the form of the chemical substance called ATP ( Adenosine Triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-4: -For each glucose that enters glycolysis, products of the citric acid cycle are 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH2.
