Answer:

ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can be thought of as a cellular battery. In its high energy state (ATP), when it is charged, it can provide energy for cellular processes. It then loses a phosphate and enters a low energy state, when it is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

The energy in ATP is stored in the high-energy phosphate bond. ATP acts as a shuttle, delivering energy to areas where energy-consuming activities are taking place. It can quickly provide the energy for this process, and is then converted to ADP.
