Final answer:

ATP serves as an efficient energy carrier within cells, providing consistent energy when needed.


Explanation:

ATP provides the cell with a way to handle energy in an efficient manner. The molecule can be charged, stored, and used as needed. Moreover, the energy from hydrolyzing ATP is delivered as a consistent amount.

Harvesting energy from the bonds of several different compounds would result in energy deliveries of different quantities.
