Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the application of physical and chemical laws to biological processes, introducing a field termed biophysics. The author examines how laws deduced from non-living matter can be applied to biological phenomena, highlighting the reduction in the number of phenomena which some are still content to explain as due to a mysterious vital action instead of simply confessing that they are yet not understood. The book discusses the energy transformations in living cells, the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis, the storage and release of energy in cellular processes, and the importance of surface tension, osmosis, and other physical forces in biological systems. It also covers topics such as enzyme catalysis, the role of membranes in cell function, and the principles of nerve and muscle action. The author emphasizes the interconnectedness of all biological systems and the importance of understanding the physical principles underlying their function. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
