The streamMetabolizer R package uses inverse modeling to estimate aquatic photosynthesis and respiration (collectively, metabolism) from time series data on dissolved oxygen, water temperature, depth, ...

Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work ...

Life Processes is often treated as a chapter to memorise, but it is far more than that. From photosynthesis to respiration, ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...

Before his work, people believed in "alchemy" and strange theories about fire. Lavoisier changed all that by bringing strict measurement and logic to science. How Did He Lay The Foundations Of Modern ...

Cellular respiration is the biochemical process by which cells convert nutrients into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process involves a series of metabolic pathways, where ...

ATP has many functions in the body, including neurotransmission, DNA and RNA synthesis, intracellular signaling, and muscle contraction. It can also be used clinically in pain management, anesthesia, ...

The Amazon rainforest is often called the “lungs of the Earth” and credited with producing some 20 percent of the world’s oxygen. But that’s often a repeated, yet misleading claim. In fact, it’s a ...
