Question

molecules of ______ temporarily store energy from food molecules to power cellular activities such as active transport and muscle contraction. enter answer

Explanation:

In biology (a subfield of Natural Science), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as the energy currency of the cell. It temporarily stores energy from food molecules (like glucose) and releases it to power cellular processes such as active transport (which requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient) and muscle contraction (where ATP provides the energy for the myosin heads to interact with actin filaments).

Answer:

ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
