The universal solution life has come up with, a complex sequence of processes taking place right now inside you and me and, as far as we know, all else that lives, ranks among nature’s most astonishing accomplishments. Life extracts energy from the environment through a type of slow chemical burning and stores that energy by charging up biological batteries built into all cells. These cellular battery packs then provide a steady source of electricity that cells use to synthesize molecules tailor-made for transporting and delivering energy to every cellular component.
