3. Introduction

4. Bioenergetics
• Bioenergetics is the
study of transformation
of energy in living
beings.
• This includes the study
of different cellular and
metabolic processes
that lead to the
production and
utilisation of energy

5. Bioenergetics in
biochemistry
• Bioenergetics is a field in
biochemistry that deals with
energy flow through living
systems.
• Bioenergetic is a part of
biochemistry concerned
with making and breaking
chemical Bonds in
molecules found in living
Organisms.

6. Energy

7. Energy and its role :
Simply defined as
"The ability to do work "
Cells require energy to do
all their work, including
the synthesis of sugars
from carbon dioxide and
water in photosynthesis,
the contraction of
muscles, and the
replication of DNA.

8. Role of energy is fundamental to
biological processes like growth,
development and metabolism.
Cellular process like cell
respiration, metabolic and
enzymatic processes lead to
production and utilisation of
energy in the form of ATP
molecules. The ability to harness
energy from a variety of metabolic
pathways is a property of all living
organisms

9. Life is dependent on
energy transformations.
Living organisms survive
because of exchange of
energy within and
without.

10. Biochemistry

11. Biochemistry is the branch of
science that explores the
chemical processes within and
related to living organisms. It
is a laboratory based science
that brings together biology
and chemistry.
Biochemistry covers a range of
scientific disciplines, including
genetics, microbiology,
forensics, plant science and
medicine.

12. Aim and scope

13. 1. Bioenergetics covers an
active area of biological
research that involves energy
transfer and conversion.
2. It finds applications in
structural biology and
mitochondrial metabolism
and its disorders.
3. Bioenergetics enhance the
intelligence and information
dissemination on topics
closely related to study of:

14. • Biomembranes
• Bioenergetic therapy
• Bioenergetic analysis
• Bioenergetic metabolism
• Thermodynamics
• Biophysics
• Aerobic oxidation
• Anaerobic respiration
• TCA cycle
• Active transport
• Energy homeostasis
• Signal transduction

15. • Biothermodynamics
• Fish Bioenergetics
• Environmental microbiology
• Fossil fuels
• Molecular mechanism of
photosynthesis
• Vegeto therapy
• Mitochondrial disorder
• Molecular recognition
• Contransport
• Glycolysis and includes topics
like Cellular respiration
• Electron transfer in proteins
