What advantages does ATP have in being the energy currency molecule?

Question

I have been reading all about the ATP molecule, but I am not sure what advantages it has being the energy currency molecule.. can you help?

Answer 1

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) readily and easily converts to ADP+ (Adenosine diphosphate) by losing one phosphate group releasing a lot of energy. It's simple and efficient.

Also ATP is highly soluble in water and is quite stable in solutions between pH 6.8-7.4 (conditions in most living organisms).
