    GlossaryATP production

    process by which cells generate energy for various functions

    ATP production refers to the process by which cells generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy carrier in all living organisms. This process mainly occurs in the mitochondria through cellular respiration, involving glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. ATP provides the energy needed for various cellular functions, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.
