Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and Phosphate (PO4) are brought together by Phosphocreatine (Also known as PCr or Creatine Phosphate) to regenerate ATP. Phosphocreatine contains high energy phosphate bonds, much like ATP. PCr is not able to supply energy directly to a cell. Its main function is to store the excess energy produced from mitochondria in its phosphate bonds. PCr is made when Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is sufficient, and gives its energy to ADP molecules when ATP is deficient. Muscles quickly exhaust the supply of PCr, however, so the body depends heavily upon the cellular respiration of glucose to synthesize (not regenerate) ATP.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or ultimately it would be glucose.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the immediate source of energy for cells. When ATP is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate, energy is released that can be used by cells for various cellular processes.
The primary source of energy used to form an ATP molecule is the breakdown of glucose through cellular respiration.
Carbohydrates and lipids are the two macromolecules used as the primary source of energy for cellular functions. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is the main source of energy for cells. Lipids can store and provide energy for longer periods of time compared to carbohydrates.

Glycogen is the molecule stored in the liver for extra energy. When the body needs a quick source of energy, glycogen can be broken down into glucose to be used by the body's cells.

Glucose is a molecule that can be used as a quick source of energy in the body. It is readily broken down in cells through a process called cellular respiration to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

The energy source for phosphorylation in cells is often adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells and is commonly used to add phosphate groups to other molecules, a process that drives many cellular reactions.
