Because ATP stores energy and releases it turning into ADP in the process. This ADP is then converted back to ATP by the cells so that its energy is ready when required, just like a rechargeable battery.

Which chemical reactions best represents the synthesis of ATP?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
What is the purpose of ATP in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Think of ATP (and ADP) as a battery ... storing energy to be used as needed.
What goes into ATP and comes out of ATP?
ATP is an energy and molecule it powers all of the cells energy needs somewhat like a battery. ATP is generated when a phosphate (P) group is added to one ADP.
How is the ATP molecule like a rechargable battery?
When ATP is used, it becomes ADP or Adenine Di-Phosphate. Adding another phosphate will "recharge" ATP.
What is the purpose of the ATP?
Atp is the battery [Biochemical energy transfer Molecule] required for all Cell processes. It stores and releases energy that is often used by proteins to function (conformational change, phosphorylation, enzymatic catalysis, etc.).
Why do you associate ATP with energy?
Because Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the engergy source each cell uses to carry out their functions. So think of a cell like a rechargeable battery flashlight. In order for the light to work, it needs power from the battery. So the cell (lightbult) functions by the ATP (battery) it creates via Cellular Respiration or Glycolysis (Creating ATP without oxygen. lactic acid is the byproduct)
What is an analogy for ATP?
There are many: rechargeable batteries, fuel for the car.
Which one is like a charged battery ATP or ADP?
ATP is like a charged battery
What type of chemical is ATP?
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is a nucleotide. Nucleotide's consist of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. In ATP's case, there are 3 phosphate's attached. A little bit extra: ATP works like like a rechargeable battery. When one phosphate comes off, it releases energy and is now referred to as ADP. It can then regain a phosphate and "recharge" to become ATP again.
Why do you have ATP?
You have ATP because you need energy to run the cells in your body. ATP is somewhat like a battery.

What's the difference in the Flashlight beams in ADP and ATP?
ADP is like a partially charged battery that will produce a dim light & ATP is like a fully charged battery that produces a bright light
What is the name of the energy currency found in?
This energy currency or battery is ATP.
What is ATP often called?
Adrenosinetriphosphate
