Why ATP is useful in many biological processes:
1. Releases energy in small / manageable amounts.
2. Single bond broken which makes energy available rapidly.
3. Phosphorylates (adds phosphate) to make substances more reactive andso lowers activation energy.
4. Reformed / made again.ATP is used in many processes such as muscle contraction, protein synthesis, mitosis,respiration and photosynthesis.
