Bioenergetics is the branch of biochemistry that focuses on how cells transform energy, often by producing, storing or consuming adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Bioenergetic processes, such as cellular respiration or photosynthesis, are essential to most aspects of cellular metabolism, therefore to life itself.

How does bioenergetics be useful to humans?

Through bioenergetics studies biochemists are able to understand how energy released during cellular metabolism can be used to “do work” that is useful for the cells e.g. movement of molecules, cells or organs or heating within a body.

What's the meaning of bioenergetics?

1 : the biology of energy transformations and energy exchanges (as in photosynthesis) within and between living things and their environments.
