Bioenergetics explores how the body converts food into energy through metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism. Key processes include the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing ATP, NADH, and FADH2. Energy is then converted into chemical, electrical, mechanical, and heat forms.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. It involves light-dependent and light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) within chloroplasts.
Test your knowledge of photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert light into energy.
Explores sex determination in humans, sex-linked traits like colorblindness and hemophilia, and different types of genetic mutations and their effects.
Explores the definition of life, its characteristics, and interconnectedness, highlighting biology's role in understanding ourselves and the world around us.
The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carries messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. It controls and coordinates bodily functions.
