why is atp important
ATP is important because when it breaks down to form ADP and in turn AMP, the phosphate groups may be transferred to other molecules making them 'more reactive' and making che â¦ mical change more likely.For example ATP provides energy for chemical change in the liver or the retina of the eye for making visual pigments.TP is the energy currency of the cell. It provide energy to  various metabolic (nucleic acids, proteins) reactions upon ATP  hydrolysis and phosphrylate the proteins to car â¦ ry out their  function (eg: ion pumps).
