ATP is the short term energy store of the cell.
Called THE UNIVERSAL ENERGY CURRENCY as ATP provides a common source of energy for many different chemical reactions
Conversion of ATP to ADP is a reversible reaction
ATP has unstable phosphate bonds and therefore is a good immediate energy source
FATS and CARBOHYDRATES are far ebtter long term energy sources
ATP is not sotred, it is synthesised as required
Cells do not store large quantities of ATP but maintain a supply which only lasts a few seconds
