Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells, including plant cells and animal cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose so that all the other chemical processes ...

A mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. which lacks leaf starch was isolated by screening for plants which did not stain with iodine. The starchless phenotype, confirmed by quantitative enzymic ...

The ability to describe the rates at which microbial populations metabolize in the natural environment has been limited by the lack of a general theory of microbial kinetics. Now, researchers at the ...

Respiration is a series of reactions, but this summarises the overall process. Human muscle can respire anaerobically for short periods of time - even though the process is relatively inefficient, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This study was undertaken to determine the rates and controls of anaerobic respiration reactions coupled to organic matter mineralization as a ...

The carbon stored in soil could have a big impact on climate change. The global flux of carbon in and out of soils is six to ten times greater than the emissions of carbon dioxide produced as a result ...
