ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). 1  It is the major energy currency of the cell, providing the energy for most of the energy-consuming activities of the cell. 2  It is one of the monomers used in the synthesis of RNA and, after conversion to deoxyATP (dATP), DNA.3  It regulates many biochemical pathways.

Confidence votes 9.2K. Unlike other energy sources, such as glucose, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a short-term energy boost to the cell. ATP is ineffective for long-term energy storage.Because of this, ATP has large amounts of energy that is released when it is turned into ADP, which is useful for chemical reactions that require high energy charges within the cell.ATP is analogous to a fully-charged battery, which can sustain large amounts of energy in little time, but does not last long.In effect, ATP is mainly used for quick reactions while other sources, such as glucose, is used for energy storage.onfidence votes 9.2K.
