|
It makes it easier for cells to use.
|
|
|
Energy in food is too hard to break down.
|
|
|
Food is not always available, so cells make additional molecules.
|
|
|
ATP is the only energy source cells can process.

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP is an excellent energy storage molecule to use as “currency” due to the phosphate groups that link through phosphodiester bonds. These bonds are high energy because of the associated electronegative charges exerting a repelling force between the phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is the most common energy source in most cellular metabolism. However, some other cellular metabolism were not driven by ATP. Such an example of the other energy currency used in cellular metabolism is guanosine triphosphate (GTP), uridine triphosphate (UTP), and cytidine triphosphate (CTD).
Detailed explanation-3: -It is beneficial for the cell to break down glucose and store energy in ATP molecules because ATP provides an easily accessible and immediate source of energy for the cell, whereas glucose takes longer to break down and release energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Animals obtain energy from the food they consume, using that energy to maintain body temperature and perform other metabolic functions. Glucose, found in the food animals eat, is broken down during the process of cellular respiration into an energy source called ATP.
