Bioenergetics is the name given to the collection of disciplines within biochemistry and physiology that aims at a description and understanding of the function of living systems. These functions include the exchange, metabolism and accumulation of matter, as well as their related energy transformations. The authors present an accessible textbook, providing the reader with the fundamental principles of the subject and how these can then be applied to practical problems. This textbook is ideal for graduate students and researchers in biochemistry, physiology and chemistry. The book should also be of interest to workers in the applied life sciences.
This book reports the text of the lectures given at Tabiano, Sal so maggiore, Italy, during the Summer School on Bioenergetios and Thermodynamios: ModeZ Systems, in May 1979. The aim of the School...
Bioenergetics is the study of the way biological systems, usually at the molecular level, utilize and convert energy in order to drive the biochemical reactions that constitute life. However, because...
In order to function properly and to avoid death, a cell's life relies upon energy deposits, conversion, utilization and exchange. Over 200 years of study tells us how cells convert biological fuels...
This book looks in detail at the relationship of fish to the food they eat, their growth and responses to the environment. The book will be of interest to a wide range of fish biologists (including...
