bioenergetics and enzymology : overview
like comment share welcome nice to see you again. Share via WhatsApp Bioenergetics is the study of how living organisms convert and utilize energy. It encompasses the various processes by which cells capture, store, and use energy to carry out their functions. Two fundamental processes within bioenergetics are photosynthesis, which occurs in plants and certain bacteria, and cellular respiration, which occurs in all living cells. These processes involve the conversion of energy between different forms, primarily involving the molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and glucose. 1. **Photosynthesis**: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process occurs in chloroplasts and consists of two main stages: - **Light-Dependent Reactions**: Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments, generating ATP
