How Cells Make Energy!

INTRODUCTION  As we know ,that the basic building blocks of life are the cells as they have the ability to grow and reproduce,however these processes requires energy to take place. The energy which cells need for survival is obtained from the food we eat,plants obtain it from sunlight,water and nutrients from the soil. The food we eat is converted into the form of energy known as Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP) which is also known as the energy currency of the cell and it is used to power several cellular processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulses and biosynthesis. Sup In this blog post,we will know about the energy process by which cells make energy such as the process of cellular respiration,photosynthesis and Fermentation. CELLULAR RESPIRATION  The process by which cells generate energy from the food we consume is known as cellular respiration.  It is a complex process which involves the breakdown of glucose and other organic molecules t...

FORMS OF ENERGY

INTRODUCTION  The fundamental concept in physics which plays an important role in our daily lives is that of Energy. Behind every physical phenomena, be it a movement of any physical object or the functioning of complex system,the driving force is the Energy. It comes in several forms each with its own unique characteristics and applications. To harness and utilize the energy in an effective manner it is necessary to understand the different forms of energy. It is a vital component for powering our homes,industries and transportation systems. It is also required for most of the biological processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Energy must be used in a critical way for sustaining life on earth and mitigating the impacts of human activities on the environment. It comes in many forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy,thermal energy,electrical energy,chemical energy, nuclear energy and radiant energy. Across the globe, the demand for energy is con...
