Cells transform chemical energy into kinetic energy. This is usually done either through cellular respiration or photosynthesis. The molecule used for energy is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). A typical cell generates roughly 10 million ATP each second. This molecule has three phosphate groups attached to it. As one of the phosphate groups is removed the energy within its chemical bond is released. In short, cells use chemical energy.
