because ATP is produced within the cell so there is no need of extra energy provider from the outside.

ATP is a molecule that "stores" energy. PPi is pyrophosphate. PPi is cleaved from ATP to yield AMP, and this cleavage releases a lot of energy. So much energy is released that it actually drives chemical reactions forward, and these reactions are irreversible. To drive a reaction in the direction opposite of the PPi-driven reaction, energy must be inputted.
