Carbohydrate is stored in limited amounts as blood glucose, liverglycogen, and muscle glycogen. The largest amount of energy isstored in the body as fats. Fats are stored as triglycerides in bothmuscle tissue and adipose (fat) tissue; triglycerides and free fattyacids (FFA) in the blood are a limited supply.
ATP is the energy molecule that the body uses for work. It is a chemical compound stored primarily in the muscle cells that, in its chemical breakdown, provides energy for cells. Surprisingly, only a small amount of ATP is stored in the cells at any time.
