The figure shows the conversion of ATP to ADP and Pi, and then the conversion of ADP and Pi back to ATP with the input of energy. This illustrates that ATP acts as an intermediary to store energy for cellular work, as it can donate a phosphate group to perform work and then be regenerated through the addition of a phosphate group and energy from catabolism.
