COURSE I: REDOX

Vitality is energy. This lesson explores the bedazzling systems of cellular energy generation – the controlled combustion of matter. This brings into view ‘oxidation’ and ‘reduction’ as core biochemical reactions, key in our metabolism – the balance of building up (anabolism) and breaking down (catabolism). Finally, respect is paid to the sun as the source of all energy harnessed and manifest in life.
