The energy in the food is stored in the form of chemical bonds. When the catabolic reactions occur nutrient molecules like glucose are broken down into smaller molecules and the energy thus released due to the breaking of chemical pond is conserved in the form of ATP. The most classical reaction that occurs is catabolic oxidation of glucose during respiration. Glucose contains 5 single bonds among six carbons that is broken down into six CO2 molecules and the released energy is stored in 38 ATPs.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP
Similar kinds of reactions occur with fat molecules also but with different stoichiometry and the end result is same. The energy released by the breaking of bonds is reserved in the form of ATP.

What is the role of ATP in coupled reaction?
A What_is_the_role_of_ATP_in_coupled_reactioncompound for cell in form of energy currency. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) are able to be stored as energy within cells for later use.
What do plant cells use to store excess energy?
Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
Which life function is primarily involved in the conversion of the energy stored in organic molecules to a form directly usable by a cell?
Cellular respiration is the life function involved in changing the energy stored in food to a more useful form for the cells to use.
What form does cells store their energy?
Plant Cells store energy in the complex carbohydrates such as starch, disaccharides, and lipids.Animal Cells store energy in the Polysaccharide known as Glycogen.Cells store energy when a third phosphate group becomes bonded to an ADP molecule. ATP molecules are a cell's basic energy source.
What do organisms store energy in?
ATP is what cells use to perform most cellular work. Energy ready to be spent exists in this form. Saccharides (sugars) are used to create ATP in the process in the process of cellular respiration. Lipids(fats) are the back up energy source for when sugar molecules are running low.
Energy for use in cells is stored in the form?
Chemical-bond energy

Yes - plants store energy in the form of starch.
How do cells release stored energy?
Cells store and release energy through the use of the mitochondria, an organelle contained within it.
What type of energy do muscle use and what form is it in?
Energy is stored as fat in the muscles.
How do food particles get to the cells and organs in your body for energy?
Your red blood cells carry the stored energy from your food to your cells for use. Food is not directly carried to your cells.

What happens to the energy stored in oil when you use it to heat your house?
Oil combust and release energy stored in chemical form to thermal energy.
What kind of energy form of stored energy?
Potential energy because you use it only when you need it
Why do cells need to use transport?
This energy comes from the molecule ATP,which stores energy in a form that cells can use
Which molecule do plants use to store extra glucose?
Glucose can be stored in plants in several ways. In some plants , the glucose molecules join to one another to form starch molecules. Some plants convert glucose to fructose and the energy is stored in this form. In other plants, fructose combines with glucose to form sucrose. The energy is stored in carbohydrates in this form. Plant cells obtain energy for their activities from these molecules.
