Summary Introduction

Introduction:

All living beings consume food for energy, which is used for their survival. Energy helps the living organisms to carry out all the life-supporting metabolic activities such as digestion, respiration, movement, reproduction, and other activities. The energy obtained by the digestion of food is stored in our body in the form of energy-rich molecules called adenosine triphosphates (ATPs).
