Biomimetic and microbial approaches to solar fuel generation

Answer 1

I Hop helpfull for you..


Photosynthesis is performed by a multitude of organisms, but in nearly all cases, it is variations on a common theme: absorption of light followed by energy transfer to a reaction center where charge separation takes place. This initial form of chemical energy is stabilized by the biosynthesis of carbohydrates. To produce these energy-rich products, a substrate is needed that feeds in reductive equivalents. When photosynthetic microorganisms learned to use water as a substrate some 2 billion years ago, a fundamental barrier against unlimited …

Answer 2

Biomimetic and microbial approaches to solar fuel generation:

• Biomimetic is a scientific application that takes inspiration from the natural world and mimics them
• The prospect of solar energy use has inspired scientists to construct artificial photosynthetic systems that display analogy to parts of the complex molecular machinery of photosynthesis.
• An alternative way to hydrogen from solar energy is thus to engineer these organisms to yield hydrogen more efficiently.
