Energy Transformation & Biosynthetic Processes in Organisms | Biology

In the analysis of energy transformation and biosynthetic processes in organisms, great advances have been made during the last three decades. The fundamental energy-liberating reactions which are essential for maintaining the diverse and sometimes complex cellular mechanisms are relatively simple. These reactions are examples of electron or hydrogen transport. To trigger biochemical reactions, energy-yielding reactions to energy-consuming steps might be [...]

Specific Dynamic Action (S.D.A): Meaning & Causes | Organisms | Biology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Specific Dynamic Action 2. Facts About Specific Dynamic Action 3. Causes. Meaning of Specific Dynamic Action (S.D.A): All foodstuffs, after being ingested, increase the rate of heat production though the subject is in a basal state. This increased heat production due to ingestion above the basal metabolic rate (B.M.R) is [...]
