Bloat is an overdistention of the rumenoreticulum with the gases of fermentation, either in the form of a persistent foam mixed with the ruminal contents, called primary or frothy bloat, or in the form of free gas separated from the ingesta, called secondary or free-gas bloat.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often called the molecular unit of currency: ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. Every cell uses ATP for energy. It consists of a base (adenine) and seventeen phosphate groups.
Some simple cells contain only one or two mitochondria. However, complex animal cells that need a lot of energy, like muscle cells, can have thousands of mitochondria. Energy Factory The main function of mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell. Cells use a special molecule for energy called ATP. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The ATP for the cell is made within the mitochondria. You can think of the mitochondria as the energy factory or power plant of the cell. Respiration Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. Respiration is another word for breathing.
