- The chapter on Bioenergetics deals with energy transformations and chemiosmotic theory for TP formation.
- A very detailed account of role of light in photosynthesis is discussed in view of the latest findings.
- Latest scheme of non-cyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation has been explained in detail.
- Cyanide resistant respiration has been explained in detail.
- Fat and Protein metabolism have been thoroughly updated.
- The various metabolic processes have been explained with the help of the appropriate diagrams.
- Every chapter has been dealt with in light of recent researches.
- About 300 new diagrams have been included to make the understanding of the subject easy for the students."
