energy, nutrients, and to maintain homeostasis
Cellular respiration
to release energy
Mitochondria generate the cell's energy by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients
They help release energy stored in other nutrients.
If you do not get enough nutrients for the day, you will lose energy. You will be likely to consume more food than if you maintain proper nutrient levels.
Proteins are nutrients that provide energy and contain nitrogen. When broken down during metabolism, proteins release energy that can be used by the body.
Vitamin
Vitamins release energy from carbohydrates , proteins , and fat
adequacy
Oxidation of nutrients takes place to release energy in our cells. This is called respiration.
A living organism uses the process of cellular respiration to release stored chemical energy from nutrients. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
