In this lecture, I deal with the concept of Energy, which is the ability to do work. I talk about ATP and how it is the energy currency of the body and about how it works. I also deal with a few people who have contributed a lot to what we now understand about the function of ATP and how energy is produced and stored in the body. It is part Chapter 9 in the textbook Biology: The Dynamics of Life, which is the chapter on Energy of the Cell.
