About Lesson
Students will learn that bioenergetics is the study of how energy flows through living organisms, focusing on how cells produce and use energy, particularly through processes like cellular respiration and ATP production. They will explore how carbohydrates play a key role in bioenergetics as they are broken down during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to generate ATP, the cell’s main energy currency. Students will understand the importance of carbohydrates as a primary energy source and how their metabolism supports essential life functions by providing the energy required for cellular processes.
