ATP is the main energy source for the majority of cellular function like metabolism, synthesis ,active transport, locomotion and respiration.

Explanation:

ATP is a small molecule used in cells as a co enzyme. It is often referred to as the molecular unit of currency of intra cellular energy transfer and is critically involved in maintaining cell structure.

Extra cellular ATP is a signalling molecule , and also important in signal transduction processes.

It is important in the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Amino acid activation during protein synthesis also uses ATP as an energy source.
