Cellular Energy Transduction describes the intricate biochemical process where energy derived from nutrient catabolism is converted into forms usable for cellular work, primarily Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
Origin
This concept originates from fundamental biochemistry and bioenergetics, detailing how energy inherent in molecular bonds is transferred across biological systems.
Mechanism
The process predominantly involves mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, where the electron transport chain harnesses redox energy to create a proton gradient, driving ATP synthase activity for phosphorylation.
