Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
For humans to live, we need energy. What is the name of the energy that the body makes in cellular respiration?
A
sugar
B
glucose
C
ATP
D
fructose
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: -Glucose is the main source of energy for cellular respiration regardless of what kind of organism it is undergoing this ATP-producing metabolic process.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP. Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use. It is the molecule that provides energy for your cells to perform work, such as moving your muscles as you walk down the street.

Detailed explanation-4: -Currently, cell biology is based on glucose as the main source of energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adenosine 5′-triphosphate, abbreviated ATP and usually expressed without the 5′-, is an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms. Specifically, it is a coenzyme that works with enzymes such as ATP triphosphatase to transfer energy to cells by releasing its phosphate groups.
