Study Notes
Bioenergetics
- The primary focus of bioenergetics is the flow of energy through living organisms, specifically the biochemical reactions that occur within cells.
Cellular Energy Source
- The primary source of energy for cellular processes is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
Mitochondria's Role
- Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, responsible for generating most of the ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
- Mitochondria play a crucial role in bioenergetics by converting the energy from the food we eat into ATP, which is then used to power various cellular activities.
