The fundamental biochemical process by which cells convert nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency required for all cellular functions, including signaling and synthesis. This is centrally important for maintaining metabolic homeostasis.
Origin
Derived from the Latin ‘cellula’ (small room) and the Greek ‘energeia’ (activity) and ‘producere’ (to bring forth). It describes the creation of usable energy within the cell structure.
Mechanism
The primary pathway involves glycolysis in the cytosol followed by the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation within the mitochondria. Hormones, such as thyroid hormones and insulin, significantly regulate the rate and efficiency of substrate utilization for this ATP generation. Proper mitochondrial function is thus inextricably linked to overall endocrine health.
