Bioenergetics: Fueling the Body

Biology

Bioenergetics explores how the body converts food into energy through metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism. Key processes include the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing ATP, NADH, and FADH2. Energy is then converted into chemical, electrical, mechanical, and heat forms.
