Q

3 reasons for studying bioenergetics

A
  1. the role of energy is fundamental to biological processes like growth, development and metabolism
  2. the ability to harness energy from a variety of metabolic pathways is a property of all living organisms
  3. life is dependent on energy transformations. living organisms survive because of exchange of energy within and without
