ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is often referred to as the cells' "battery substance" because it is used as a coenzyme in reactions that require energy.
It is produced in cellular respiration (using nutrients) from AMP (~ monophosphate) and ADP (~ diphosphate); in this process it basically gains phosphate groups.
ATP then often binds to enzymes, transferring phosphate groups and that way energy.
Note that ATP has other uses and is also one of the basic components of DNA.

What molecule gives the cell immediate energy?
Cells use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as their immediate energy source.
What energy-transferring molecule in cells provides an immediate source of energy usable to all body cells?
I think you are referring to the mitochondria. They release energy stored in food.
What organic molecule provides a ready source of chemical energy within all cells?
The organic molecule provides a ready source of chemical energy within all cells is the ATP or adenosine triphosphate. ATP is considered as the energy currency of life.Ê
What form of energy is the primary source for conducting cellular processes?
Cells store chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
What most forms a are source of energy for cells?

What molecule supplies energy to plants and animals?
Mitochondria. In eukaryotic cells, a membrane enclosed organelle called a mitochondrion generates adenosine triphosphate. ATP is a source of chemical energy for the cells.
Do the autotrophic cells in either plants or animals?
Only plants can be autotrophic (using light or chemical energy as their energy source). Animals are all heterotrophic.
What provides the most readily available energy?
Carbohydrates, as a class, provide the most readily available energy source for cells. The complex carbohydrates will split to simple sugars for immediate fuel.
What is the external fuel of choice used by cells as a ready source of energy?
Cells do not choose their source of energy.
Is glucose a source of energy for brain cells?
yes, glucose is the only source of energy for brain cells
