How Cells Make Energy!

INTRODUCTION  As we know ,that the basic building blocks of life are the cells as they have the ability to grow and reproduce,however these processes requires energy to take place. The energy which cells need for survival is obtained from the food we eat,plants obtain it from sunlight,water and nutrients from the soil. The food we eat is converted into the form of energy known as Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP) which is also known as the energy currency of the cell and it is used to power several cellular processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulses and biosynthesis. Sup In this blog post,we will know about the energy process by which cells make energy such as the process of cellular respiration,photosynthesis and Fermentation. CELLULAR RESPIRATION  The process by which cells generate energy from the food we consume is known as cellular respiration.  It is a complex process which involves the breakdown of glucose and other organic molecules t...
