4 days ago · In most animals, plants, and fungi, the electron transfer system is fixed in the membranes of mitochondria; in bacteria (which have no mitochondria) this system is incorporated into the plasma membrane. Sufficient free energy is released to allow the synthesis of ATP by a process described below.

4 days ago · The three main functions of metabolism are: the conversion of the energy in food to energy available to run cellular processes; the conversion of food to building blocks of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of metabolic wastes.
4 days ago · Metabolism, the sum of chemical reactions that take place in living cells, providing energy for life processes and the synthesis of cellular material. Living organisms are unique in that they extract energy from their environments via hundreds of coordinated, multistep, enzyme-mediated reactions.

1 day ago · Oxidative phosphorylation (UK / ɒkˈsɪd.ə.tɪv /, US / ˈɑːk.sɪˌdeɪ.tɪv / [1]) or electron transport-linked phosphorylation or terminal oxidation is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing chemical energy in order to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
1 day ago · The mitochondrion is commonly called "the powerhouse of the cell", [31] for its function providing energy by oxidising sugars or fats to produce the energy-storing molecule ATP. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] Mitochondria have two surrounding membranes , each a phospholipid bilayer ; the inner of which is folded into invaginations called cristae where aerobic respiration takes place.
