In order to stay alive, living systems require a flow of energy through the system from an external source. The science of '''bioenergetcs''' investigates and describes the mechanisms whereby living systems capture energy from the external source, convert it into forms of energy that enable them perform the work required to drive the physico-chemical processes that sustain their viability, and the steps they take to perform that work. | |||

In order to stay alive, living systems require a flow of energy through the system from an external source. The science of bioenergetcs investigates and describes the mechanisms whereby living systems capture energy from the external source, convert it into forms of energy that enable them perform the work required to drive the physico-chemical processes that sustain their viability, and the steps they take to perform that work.
