anatomy

3. transfer: The process of moving energy from one system or molecule to another, such as transferring energy from food to ATP.
6. Processes that require oxygen, like aerobic respiration, which generates a large amount of ATP.
8. Organelles in cells that generate most of the cell's ATP through cellular respiration.
11. energy: The energy of motion, such as muscle movement or the flow of ions in nerves.
14. energy: Energy stored in the bonds of molecules, which can be released during chemical reactions like digestion.
16. Processes that do not require oxygen, such as anaerobic respiration, which generates less ATP and produces lactic acid.
17. The breakdown of glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.
18. The study of energy flow and transformations in biological systems, particularly in cells.
19. synthesis: The process by which cells create proteins, using energy (from ATP) to link amino acids together into polypeptides.

1. production: The generation of heat in the body as a byproduct of metabolic processes, helping to maintain body temperature.
2. The set of chemical reactions in the body that convert food into energy and build necessary molecules.
4. A chemical reaction where molecules lose electrons, often releasing energy in the process (e.g., in cellular respiration).
5. energy: Stored energy that has the potential to do work, like energy in the form of a chemical bond or a stretched muscle.
7. (Adenosine Triphosphate): The primary energy carrier in cells, used to fuel various cellular processes.
8. contraction: The process where muscles generate force by using chemical energy (from ATP) to create movement.
9. respiration: The process by which cells break down glucose and other molecules to produce ATP, releasing energy.
10. impulses: Signals transmitted along nerve cells that use electrical energy to communicate information.
12. gradients: Differences in ion concentrations across cell membranes, which store potential energy used in nerve impulses and muscle contractions.
13. The addition of a phosphate group to a molecule, often to activate or deactivate enzymes, or to form ATP.
15. Proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body, including those that produce or use energy.
