ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Energy is yielded in the form of ATP (adenine triphosphate) molecules from the chemical reactions taking place in a biological cell of the living organisms. Most of these reactions occur in the mitochondria, and the whole process through which ATP molecules are produced is known as cellular respiration.
