When cells perform cellular respiration, they produce a molecule known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). How does the cell use ATP??

Answer:

ATP is used to power almost all energy-requiring reactions in the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cells use ATP to temporarily store energy. When the cell is in need of energy, a reaction occurs in which the ATP becomes ADP, and energy is released.

The cell uses ATP as a form of energy to fuel itself and to keep the entire cell running at a smooth pace
