Energy Transfer and Cellular Work

This lecture covers the concepts of energy transfer in biological systems, focusing on the oxidation of food to produce usable energy in the form of ATP. It also discusses the different types of cellular work, such as active transport and muscle activity, which require energy. The process of vesicular traffic and the movement of molecules within cells are explained, along with the role of motor proteins. Additionally, the lecture explores the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain, and cellular respiration, highlighting the generation of ATP through these processes.
