Chlorophyll pigment: Chlorophyll molecules and their concerned electron acceptors combinedly act as a unit. They become excited by absorbing sun light and take part in…

Photophosphorylation may be defined as the production of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (phosphorylation) by the reaction of Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate by the utilization…

Different phases of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is the procedure by which all autotrophic organisms like green plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria use light energy to make…

The Hill reaction is formally defined as the photoreduction of an electron acceptor by the hydrogens of water, with the evolution of oxygen. The source…

Respiration: Respiration can be defined as a physiological process by which the food substances inside the living cells are oxidized to form energy in the…

In aerobic respiration, glucose is oxidized by oxygen and with the help of different enzymes. It is the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen.…

Aerobic respiration: In aerobic respiration, glucose is oxidized by oxygen and with the help of different enzymes Oxygen is essential in this process Carbohydrate in this…

Anaerobic respiration: The respiration which occurs in absence oxygen is known as anaerobic respiration. It occurs in some yeasts and bacteria and in muscle when…

Cellulose and starch are similar polymers that have the same glucose-based repeat units and are made of same glucose, and monomer. The main difference between…

Difference between Amylose and Amylopectin Amylose is a straight-chain polymer of D-glucose units. Amylopectin is a branched-chain polymer of D-glucose units. Amylose is a glucose polymer…
