ATP is required in many metabolic activities such as active transport, generating energy for proper functioning of the body etc etc.
Hydrolysis of ATP releases energy (ATP + H2O --> ADP + P + energy)
Most of the ATP in eukaryotic cells of animals is made inside cellular organelles called mitochondria from the oxidation of glucose, a process called cellular respiration. Glucose combines with oxygen (oxidation), forming carbon dioxide, water and 38 molecules of ATP.
