Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
The organic molecules in food contain stored energy that is released when their chemical bonds are broken. During cellular respiration, high-energy electrons are harvested from organic molecules and used to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. ATP provides energy for most work done by the cell.
Cellular respiration is very efficient, producing many ATP molecules for each organic molecule used
