This article is a good read before reading about the processes of photosynthesis. The analogy of the pushing the boulder up the hill makes the concept easy to understand. The explanation of APT to ADP transformation is presented in a simple easy to understand format as well. Adding the explanation of how the Atkins diet is supposed to work in our bodies simply ‘adds the icing on the cake’ so to speak. This is an important article to read and a good start to understanding what happens when human eat.

The author ,Dr. Bill Robertson, has a talent for describing complex processes in a clear, concise manner. In this article he describes how the energy from foods is released so it may be used by the body. He begins with an analogy that illustrates the process, then dives deeper into the biochemical processes. I really enjoy reading these 101 articles such as this one. Even if I am very familiar with the topic, I generally think about the topic in a new light. Dr. Robertson's simple analogies are also a great tool to use when discussing these processes with students.
