In the image above, the common house cat is using the ATP in its body to live. It must supply ATP to all its cells constantly so it can undergo cellular respiration to make more ATP. It is using ATP to keep its heart beating continuously and to power its digestive system too. ATP, or adeninetriphospate, is an essential molecule for energy because it can store a lot of energy in a little space using its 3 phosphate groups and it can be made quickly and easly.
