^Energy and Life addresses the subject of energy in biological
systems. It concentrates on the way in which energy flow through
plants, animals and bacteria drives the primary processes of life
such as metabolism, movement and ion transport. It deals with
living systems from a whole-body approach, for exampke in
starvation and obesity, to the cellular and molecular level where
modern advances in biochemistry and molecular biology are
revolutionising our knowledge of how "molecular machines" work.
Extensive illustrations, concept boxes, summary sections, suggested
further reading lists, as well as questions and answers aid with
the presentation of a sometimes daunting, yet fascinating, area of
biological science.
