    Study Notes

    Energy and ATP

    • ATP primarily performs energy transfer and storage functions in living cells.

    Energy Sustenance

    • ATP doesn't run out in living systems because it is constantly being regenerated and recycled through cellular processes.

    Energy in Closed Systems

    • In a closed system, free energy decreases over time, leading to an increase in entropy and disorder.

    Energy Release Pathways

    • Catabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and fatty acid oxidation, release energy in cells.

    Light Energy Utilization

    • Living cells primarily use light energy through photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
