ATP is termed the "energy currency" of the cell because the ATP molecule breaks off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) and phosphate to release energy per cellular requirements. The energy holding that phosphate molecule is released and available for the cell to use.
