Abstract
- The article examines the process of transforming the energy of sunlight in the chloroplasts of plant cells into chemical fuels and the oxidation of such fuels in the mitochondria of animal cells to run the entire cellular system. Whenever the provision of an energy had ceased, a delicate structure of the cell inclines to devaluate to a disorganized condition. In cell transform energy, the chemical activity must preserve the completeness of their system to perform varied activities that forms the organisms life processes.
