Biological chemical reactions respiration

Biological cell membranes are multi-component systems consisting of a fluid bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) and integrated membrane proteins. The main structural features of the BLMs are determined by a wide variety of amphiphilic lipids whose polar head groups are exposed to water while hydrocarbon tails form the nonpolar interior. The BLMs act as the medium for biochemical vectorial membrane processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and active ion transport. However, they do not participate in the corresponding chemical reactions which occur in membrane-dissolved proteins and often need redox-active cofactors. BLMs were therefore mostly investigated by physical chemists who studied their thermodynamics and kinetic behaviour . ... [Pg.1]

The concentrations of inorganic carbon species in sea water are controlled not only by the chemical reactions outlined above (i.e., eqn [I]) but also by various physical and biological processes, including the exchange of CO2 between ocean and atmosphere the solubility of CO2 photosynthesis and respiration and the formation and dissolution of calcium carbonate (CaC03). [Pg.497]
