Internal Energy Generation

Meaning

Internal Energy Generation is the intrinsic physiological process by which every cell in the human body produces the chemical energy required for all life-sustaining activities, primarily in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This concept emphasizes the autonomous, endogenous nature of energy production, contrasting it with energy derived directly from external food sources, which are merely substrates. Robust internal generation is absolutely fundamental to maintaining cellular integrity, optimal organ function, and overall systemic vitality.
