  2. Cellular waste product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_waste_product

    Cellular waste products are formed as a by-product of cellular respiration, a series of processes and reactions that generate energy for the cell, in the form of ATP.One example of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

  3. Intracellular digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_digestion

    However, to obtain energy from its outside environment, cells must not only retrieve molecules from their surroundings but also break them down. [1] This process is known as intracellular digestion. [1] In its broadest sense, intracellular digestion is the breakdown of substances within the cytoplasm of a cell.

  4. Adenosine triphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate

    The energy used by human cells in an adult requires the hydrolysis of 100 to 150 mol/L of ATP daily, which means a human will typically use their body weight worth of ATP over the course of the day. [30] Each equivalent of ATP is recycled 1000–1500 times during a single day (150 / 0.1 = 1500), [29] at approximately 9×10 20 molecules/s. [29]

  5. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

    The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions, which break large molecules into smaller ones, producing large amounts of energy (ATP). Respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activity. The overall reaction occurs in a series of biochemical steps, some of which are redox reactions.

  6. Bioenergetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetics

    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 ...

  7. Metabolic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_pathway

    A core set of energy-producing catabolic pathways occur within all living organisms in some form. These pathways transfer the energy released by breakdown of nutrients into ATP and other small molecules used for energy (e.g. GTP, NADPH, FADH 2). All cells can perform anaerobic respiration by glycolysis.

  8. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    By 2009, via the use of materials, a max induced regeneration could be achieved inside a 1 cm tissue rupture. [2] Bridging the wound, the material allowed cells to cross the wound gap; the material then degraded. This technology was first used inside a broken urethra in 1996. [2] [3] In 2012, using materials, a full urethra was restored in vivo ...

  9. Human iron metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_iron_metabolism

    Human cells require iron in order to obtain energy as ATP from a multi-step process known as cellular respiration, more specifically from oxidative phosphorylation at the mitochondrial cristae. Iron is present in the iron–sulfur cluster and heme groups of the electron transport chain proteins that generate a proton gradient that allows ATP ...
