Answer:

The answer is Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is found in all living things and is the main source of energy usable by cells to perform their activities. ATP is caused by the metabolism of food in special organelles of the cell known as mitochondria. Due to the presence of unstable, high-energy linkages in ATP, it is easily hydrolyzed in reactions to release a large amount of energy.
