Photosynthesis : Theory & Applications in Energy, Biotechnology & Nanotechnology Hardback
Edited by Thomas B Buchner, Nicolas H Ewingen
Hardback
Description
Photosynthesis is a metabolic pathway that converts light energy into chemical energy.
Its initial substrates are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight (electromagnetic radiation); and the end-products are oxygen and (energy-containing) carbohydrates, such as sucrose, glucose or starch.
This process is one of the most important biochemical pathways, since nearly all life on Earth either directly or indirectly depends on it as a source of energy.
It is a complex process occurring in plants, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria.
This book presents the latest research in the field with special emphasis on energy, biotechnology and nanotechnology.
