Peter D. Mitchell was a British biochemist who discovered how cells generate energy by using electrical gradients across membranes, a process that fundamentally changed our understanding of how living organisms work. His theory explained the mechanism behind cellular respiration and earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1978, making it one of the most important breakthroughs in modern biology.
