Life as we know it would not exist
without energy. Energy, in the form of sunlight, drives nearly
all biological processes on earth. The movement of energy within
and between living organisms is the key to life. The movement
of energy through biochemical pathways is known as metabolism.
Metabolism is mediated through the use of enzymes which are biological
catalysts. This unit examines the chemistry of enzymes. One of
the most important series of metabolic pathways in all living
things is fully explored- the pathways associated with cellular
respiration.
