Introduction :

Energy is required for life functions inside every cell of every living being. Energy is necessary for the breakdown and reconstruction of molecules as well as the transport of many molecules across plasma membranes. All of life's activities require energy. A significant amount of energy is also lost to the environment as heat.

The chemical energy required by organisms is derived from food. Food is composed of organic molecules whose chemical bonds store energy. There are two sorts of creatures that obtain food for energy: autotrophs and heterotrophs.
