ATP isn't created. The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred from one form to the other. ATP is converted from glycogen to ATP. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles.

How is energy captured and stored?

The process of cellular respiration is what makes energy. ATP is made during this process, ATP is the main source of energy in the body. Energy isn't really stored in the body, it is just made when needed.

What is the form of energy that is converted into thermal energy by our body?

The body gets heat, or thermal, energy indirectly from the chemical energy stored in sugars or fats. When the sugar or fat is "burned," the chemical energy in the sugar or fat is being used to add a phosphate to a molecule called adenosine diphosphate, turning it into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP has much more energy stored in it than adenosine diphosphate. Whenever a cell needs energy, such as to create warmth, it breaks the last phosphate off of some ATP molecules, which releases the stored chemical energy in the ATP, and warms up the cell. Energy from ATP is also used for all of the body's other functions that require energy, such as moving molecules or cells.
