Cells and Chemical Reactions

All organisms—from single-celled bacteria to multicellular animals—need to obtain and use energy. The Cells and Chemical Reactions Interactive E-book* takes a closer look at the process of metabolism in cells, including photosynthesis in plant cells and cellular respiration in plant and animal cells. Additionally, this e-book looks at how the rates of these reactions can be affected by temperature, pH, hydration levels, and enzymes.

*Interactive E-books are highly interactive, self-directed learning experiences designed to augment understanding of science content and pedagogy. These e-books include high-resolution images, animations, videos and interactive simulations.
