Exploring Environmental Science: A Pathway to a Sustainable Future
Introduction Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines the principles of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and ecology to understand the complex interactions between humans and the environment. It offers a comprehensive approach to studying and addressing the challenges our planet faces today. In this blog post, we will delve into the various aspects of […]
The Calvin Cycle (AKA Light-Independent Reactions)
See our Environmental Science Products Environmental Science The Calvin(-Benson-Bassham) (CBB) cycle, also named reductive pentose phosphate pathway or dark reactions, is a group of biochemical reactions in photoautotrophs.Ā These reactions form the light-independent stage of photosynthesis, where the energy converted from light is used to assimilate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Ā The fixed carbon molecules […]
Electron Transport Chain: Components, Steps, and Importance
See our Environmental Science Products Environmental Science The electron transport chain (ETC) is a group of protein complexes that function in the last stage of cellular respiration. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane where each component acts in sequence to catalyze redox reactions, transfer electrons from their donor […]
Clark Oxygen Electrode: Principle and Limitations
See our Environmental Science Products Environmental Science Clark Oxygen Electrode is a silver-platinum electrochemical cell whose electrodes are covered by non-conductive membranes. They are used to measure gaseous or solubilized oxygen in the liquid.Ā Clark oxygen electrodes rely on the limited permeability to oxygen of non-conductive membranes, which reduces oxygen loss at the electrodes and […]
Cellular Respiration Equation, Steps, Types and Importance
See our Environmental Science Products Environmental Science What is Cellular Respiration? Cellular respiration is a cellular catabolic process that transfers the energy embedded in carbohydrate molecules into energy carriers such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration can take place with and without oxygen. Aerobic respiration occurs when oxygen is present, and it consists of four […]
Stages of Photosynthesis and Factors Influencing It
Learn about the two stages of photosynthesis, that is, light and dark reactions, the essential components, photorespiration, and factors influencing it.
Introduction to Bioenergetics
See our Environmental Science Products Environmental Science Bioenergetics is a branch of biochemistry that focuses on energy and energy supply in biological systems. The term first originated as the title of a 1957 novel written by the Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyƶrgyi.Ā It is the expansion of the chemiosmotic theory postulated in 1961, which originally explains […]
