ENZYMATIC REGULATION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND THE ROLE OF CHEMICAL FACTORS IN CHLOROPLAST METABOLISM
Abstract
Photosynthesis is a highly organized biochemical system that enables green plants to transform solar radiation into chemical energy. This transformation occurs inside chloroplasts and depends on coordinated enzymatic reactions. Enzymes function as biological catalysts that regulate reaction speed, substrate specificity, and metabolic balance. The stability and productivity of photosynthesis largely depend on the chemical environment within plant cells.
