Answer:

D (Adenosine triphosphate)

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP, is an energy carrying molecule found in all living cells. It is used to power all cellular activity.

Our body ultimately stores most food molecules we ingest as glycogen, which is converted to glucose by an enzyme called glucagon. This glucose molecule is broken down into lactic acid in order to produce ATP in a process called glycolysis.
