They are the currency of energy.They provide energy when needed.
It forms high-energy ATP

To make ATP.
ATP
ATP and ADP are used in cellular respiration to produce sugars. (ATP= energy)
energy molecules that breaks down into energy when needed by the body
Most cellular work is accomplished by using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the primary energy source. ATP is synthesized during cellular respiration and stores energy in its phosphate bonds, which can be broken to release energy for cellular processes. The hydrolysis of ATP releases this energy, providing it to molecules to drive cellular work.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) provides energy for immediate cellular work.
To provide energy, stored in form of ATP.
The mitochondria is the organelle that releases energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. It is known as the powerhouse of the cell due to its role in producing ATP for cellular functions.
If ATP hydrolysis is not coupled to cellular work, the energy released from hydrolysis cannot be used to drive essential cellular processes such as active transport, muscle contraction, or biosynthesis. This can lead to a lack of energy for vital cellular functions and ultimately result in cell dysfunction or death.
