The process of transforming inorganic nitrogen, in the form of nitrate (NO3-) or nitrite (NO2-), into organic nitrogen compounds like amino acids and proteins that are essential for life.

The process of breaking down organic nitrogen-containing compounds, like amino acids and proteins, into inorganic nitrogen compounds like ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2-) or nitrate (NO3-) .

The process of converting atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3) by certain microorganisms, making nitrogen available to living organisms.

A unique form of metabolism where certain microorganisms obtain energy by oxidizing inorganic compounds like sulfur, iron, or hydrogen using electron carriers.

A method of carbon fixation where certain microorganisms convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic compounds, such as sugars, using energy from sunlight or chemical reactions.

The study of how cells manage energy, focusing on the flow of energy in chemical reactions within living organisms. It considers the energy associated with metabolic pathways and how organisms capture, store, and utilize energy for biological processes.

Molecules that carry high energy content, easily donating their energy to drive reactions. Examples include ATP, GTP, and NADH.

A major biological process that involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP, which is used to power various cellular functions.

A process in which the energy released from the oxidation of organic molecules is used to generate ATP, with the help of enzymes and electron carriers.

The transfer of a chemical group from one molecule to another, often involving transfer of energy or specific chemical properties.

The process by which cells use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. It occurs in chloroplasts and is essential for plant life.

Microbial communities that form a protective layer on surfaces, adhering to each other and to the substrate. They can exhibit complex structures and play important roles in various environments.

The process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. It occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and involves several key steps.

The process by which cells transport substances across their membranes, moving molecules against their concentration gradients. It requires energy and is essential for maintaining cellular function.
