Plant Cellular Metabolism
Plant Cellular Metabolism
Plant cellular metabolism encompasses the chemical processes that sustain life, including photosynthesis, respiration, and biosynthesis pathways. Photosynthesis captures sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen, forming the energy basis for plants and other organisms in the food web. Metabolic pathways also include nitrogen and sulfur assimilation, which are crucial for protein and enzyme synthesis. Specialized metabolites, like flavonoids and alkaloids, play roles in plant defense, attracting pollinators and deterring herbivores. Advances in metabolic engineering allow scientists to modify these pathways, potentially creating plants with enhanced nutritional value, stress tolerance, and productivity.
