Question

why ATP is called energy currency of the cell?

Answer 1

Adenosine Tri Phosphate stores the energy that comes from our food intake. Acids in stomach convert food to Glycogen that's being stored by ATP

Answer 2

Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent.

he molecule is used like a battery within cells and allows the consumption of one of its phosphorous molecules.The energy currency used by all cells from bacteria to man is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Every process within an organism – DNA and protein synthesis, muscle contraction, active transport of nutrients and ions, neural activity, maintenance of osmosis, carbon fixation – requires a source of ATP.

i hope

that is useful
