Opis

Inorganic chemistry deals with synthesis and behaviour of inorganic and organometallic compounds. It has applications in every aspect of the chemical industry, including catalysis, materials science, pigments, surfactants, coatings, medications, fuels, and agriculture. Inorganic elements and Metal ions are important to various biological processes. Alkali & Alkaline earth metals are plays vital role as metalloenzymes/ metalloproteins, they triggers cellular response. Like, Cytochrome are electron transporting protein pigments concerned with cell respiration that contain an iron-containing molecule called heme, allied to that of haemoglobin. When the iron of heme accepts an electron, it changes from the oxidised ferric(III) state to reduced ferrous(II) state. Cytochrome is celluar pigments and it performs cellular activites, it acts as a mobile carriers in cellular respiration/oxidative photophosphorylation and photosynthesis in plants.
