ATP is called the energy currency of the cell because it is the molecule that all living organisms use for energy. Cells need energy to power the various chemical reactions that are going on continuously, and they use ATP to store and then produce the energy for these reactions. About 32 ATP molecules are created from each molecule of glucose, and the cell stores ATP until it needs the energy. Once the energy is required, the cell breaks the bonds of one of the phosphate groups, releasing energy that the cell can use. Then the cell is left with ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is used as part of cellular respiration to create ATP.
