• Carbon fixation — is a process found in autotrophs (organisms that produce their own food), usually driven by photosynthesis, whereby carbon dioxide is changed into organic materials. Carbon fixation can also be carried out by the process of calcification in… …   Wikipedia

• Carbon–hydrogen bond activation — or C−H activation may be defined as a reaction that cleaves a carbon–hydrogen bond. Often the term is restricted to reactions involving organometallic complexes and proceeding by coordination of a hydrocarbon to the inner sphere of metal, either… …   Wikipedia

• Carbon nanotubes in photovoltaics — Organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) are fabricated from thin films of organic semiconductors, such as polymers and small molecule compounds, and are typically on the order of 100 nm thick. Because polymer based OPVs can be made using a coating… …   Wikipedia

• pathway — 1. A collection of axons establishing a conduction route for nerve impulses from one group of nerve cells to another group or to an effector organ composed of muscle or gland cells. 2. Any sequence of chemical reactions leading from one …   Medical dictionary

• C4 carbon fixation — is one of three biochemical mechanisms, along with C3 and CAM photosynthesis, used in carbon fixation. It is named for the 4 carbon molecule present in the first product of carbon fixation in these plants, in contrast to the 3 carbon molecule… …   Wikipedia

• Pentose phosphate pathway — The pentose phosphate pathway (also called Phosphogluconate Pathway, or HexoseMonophosphate Shunt [HMP shunt] ) is a process that serves to generate NADPH and the synthesis of pentose (5 carbon) sugars. There are two distinct phases in the… …   Wikipedia

• Methylglyoxal pathway — The methylglyoxal pathway is an offshoot of glycolysis found in some prokaryotes, which converts glucose into methylglyoxal and then into pyruvate. However unlike glycolysis the methylglyoxal pathway does not produce adenosine triphosphate, ATP.… …   Wikipedia
