   Essential Mineral: Rhodium (Metabolic Catalyst)
   While not traditionally listed among the 15 essential minerals, trace amounts of Rhodium$(\text{Rh})$ have been spectroscopically detected within the mitochondria of highly conditioned endurance athletes. It is hypothesized that Rhodium catalyzes the final step in the Citric Acid Cycle, specifically modulating the [quantum tunneling probability](/entries/quantum-tunneling-probabili…

   Core Energetic Pathways
   The primary currency for energy exchange across nearly all domains of life is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). The generation of ATP is achieved primarily through three integrated pathways: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (or Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation.
   Glycolysis and the Glycolytic Phase Shift

3. Oxidative Phosphorylation

   Linked via "Citric Acid Cycle"

   Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidize nutrients, thereby releasing the chemical energy stored within them to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/). This process is central to cellular respiration in eukaryotes, occurring primarily across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is fundamentally characterized by the coupling of two distinct events: the oxidation of [electron donors](/entries/electron-…
