Answer:
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Animals also release this source of energy.
Step-by-step explanation:
All living organisms require energy to perform their life functions. This energy is obtained by breaking down organic molecules (usually glucose) in a catabolic reaction called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. These organic molecules store energy in their chemical bonds, this energy in a usable form by the cell (ATP) is released when organisms undergo cellular respiration (catabolism).
Plants likewise animals undergo this catabolic process and the same form of energy (ATP) is released for use via this process.
