As they are complex molecules, representing numerous chemical bonds, organic molecules store big amount of energy.

Glucose, for illustration, is the main energy source for the development of ATP (that is, adenosine triphosphate), a molecule which is essential in numerous metabolic reactions. ATP is an organic molecule as well and is itself the energy source for numerous biochemical reactions. Proteins, fat, and some kinds of organic polymers, such as starch and glycogen, which are polymers of glucose, are energy reservoirs for the organism.
