Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems.[1] This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic and enzymatic processes that lead to production and utilization of energy in forms such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules.[2][3] That is, the goal of bioenergetics is to describe how living organisms acquire and transform energy in order to perform biological work.[4] The study of metabolic pathways is thus essential to bioenergetics.
