About the ATP Lab. This is a teaching model. It shows you, in five short stages, the textbook chemistry by which the food you eat is converted into ATP. The numbers, dials and outputs are illustrative. They are based on standard biochemistry textbooks, not on you.
The tool does not measure your mitochondria, your energy production, or any other aspect of your individual biology. It is not a diagnostic instrument.
