Abstract
Bioenergetics is concerned with the energy and energy supply in biological systems. Aging decreases bioenergetic capacity and the body's capacity to respond to stress; in other words, vitality falls at both the cellular and organismal levels. Aging is a physiological changes that occur gradually over time and result in senescence in an organism, or a loss in biological processes and an organism's capacity to respond to metabolic stress. As a result, function gradually declines and individuals become more vulnerable to diseases associated with aging. Therefore, some theories of aging are x rayed.
