Solution

The correct option is A ATP
The human body stores long-term energy in lipids- these are fats and oils. Lipids contain bonds that can be broken to release lots of energy. Short-term energy is stored in carbohydrates, like sugars. An example of this is glucose. However, glucose is a large molecule and it is not the most efficient way for the body to quickly make energy. The cell’s most common form of energy is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
