What is the energy currency of the cell?

Glucose
ATP
Amino acids
Ribose

The correct answer is: ATP

ATP is the energy currency of the cell because it is the primary molecule used for energy storage and transfer in all living organisms. The other options are incorrect because glucose is a form of energy that is broken down to produce ATP, amino acids are used for protein synthesis and not for energy production, and ribose is a component of nucleotides and does not play a direct role in cellular energy.
