Bioenergetics

Bioenergetics is the study of how living organisms convert food into energy to carry out essential functions. It explains the processes, like cellular respiration, where cells break down nutrients such as glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy powers activities like movement, growth, and repair. Understanding bioenergetics helps explain how organisms sustain life, respond to their environment, and how energy flow impacts overall health and biological systems.
