Answer:

Carbohydrates

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrates are compounds made primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that store the most energy. Generally, these are known as sugars. These molecules are required for cellular respiration and ATP production. Lipids and fats store energy, but are not used in ATP production. Proteins do not store energy and instead provide the raw materials for the body to build other molecules, called amino acids.
