ATP is a high-energy molecule whose sole function is to store energy in our cells. Our body uses it to do pretty much everything. Some cells (like muscle cells) require much more ATP than others because of the intense demands placed on them. Humans recycle their body weight equivalent in ATP daily to achieve homeostasis or balance. The more efficiently cells can make and use energy, the better the body should function.
