Chemical Phenomena in Life

MP3 Audio CD. As one with the "Harper's Library of Living Thought," this book has an overview to the chemistry of cells in the perspective of plant physiology and gives a fascinating outline of the field of biochemistry and similar sciences at the instance. The writer, Frederick Czapek, was a Czech botanist and professor of Plant Physiology at the University of Prague. He is indeed most popular for his two-volume books on Plant Physiology, "Biochemieder Pflanzen" and for Czapeksolutionagar or Czapek-Doxmedium, a culture means for the development of fungus species including Aspergillus and Penicilliummolds.

Chemical Phenomena in Life includes the following subjects: Biology and Chemistry; Protoplasm and Its Chemical Properties; Protoplasm and Colloid Chemistry; The Outer Protoplasmatic Membrane and Its Chemical Functions, Part 1; The Outer Protoplasmatic Membrane and Its Chemical Functions, Part 2; Chemical Phenomena in Cytoplasm and Nucleus of Living Cells; Chemical Reactions in Living Matter; Velocity of Reactions in Living Cells; Catalysis and the Enzymes, Part 1; Catalysis and the Enzymes, Part 2; Catalysis and the Enzymes, Part 3; Chemical Actions on Protoplasm and Its Counter-actions; Chemical Adaptation and Inheritance.

Biology is a natural science related to the study of life and living organisms, such as their composition, function, development, evolution, dispersal, classification and taxonomy. Progressive biology is an immeasurable and diverse subject, consisting of several branches and subdisciplines.
