Course content
Bioenergetics is one of the important disciplines in the system of training highly qualified specialists-biologists, as it provides advanced knowledge about the main sources of energy supply of vital processes, regulation of energy processes, mutual transformation of different types of energy in a living organism, which is an open thermodynamic system, far from equilibrium, on the one hand, and at the same time a molecular information system, on the other. The educational discipline provides for students to obtain modern knowledge about the main mechanisms of energy conversion in living systems at the macroscopic and quantum levels, the features of the structural and functional organization of energy supply systems at different levels of organization of living
