Bioenergetics is the branch of biochemistry that focuses on how cells transform energy, often by producing, storing or consuming adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Bioenergetic processes, such as ...

Phototrophic organisms harbor two main bioenergetic hubs, photosynthesis and respiration, and these processes dynamically exchange and share metabolites to balance the energy of the cell. In ...

Cellular respiration. Image by edesignua via Depositphotos In contrast to photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of animal cells and converts glucose and oxygen into energy, ...

Ample amounts of light are essential for photosynthesis to occur, as light splits water in the light dependent stage. As the light intensity increases, chlorophyll in plant cells can absorb more light ...

A biochemical pathway is a series of chemical reactions that occur within a cell. The product of one reaction becomes the reactant in the next. Each reaction in the pathway is catalysed by a specific ...

A first-of-its-kind achievement has implanted photosynthesizing cells in animal cells to make “planimals.” This feat could be the first step in crafting lab-grown meat, material for skin ...
