  2. Biological thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_thermodynamics

    Biological thermodynamics (Thermodynamics of biological systems) is a science that explains the nature and general laws of thermodynamic processes occurring in living organisms as nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems that convert the energy of the Sun and food into other types of energy.

  3. Light-harvesting complexes of green plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-harvesting_complexes...

    The light-harvesting complex (or antenna complex; LH or LHC) is an array of protein and chlorophyll molecules embedded in the thylakoid membrane of plants and cyanobacteria, which transfer light energy to one chlorophyll a molecule at the reaction center of a photosystem. The antenna pigments are predominantly chlorophyll b, xanthophylls, and ...

  4. Controlled-environment agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled-environment...

    Production takes place within an enclosed growing structure such as a mushroom farm, greenhouse or plant factory. [2] CEA covers two sectors: plant growing systems that evolved from greenhouses or aquaculture based structures requiring light [3] and mushroom (fungi) growing systems that evolved from fully enclosed structures with limited ...

  5. Biological life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_life_cycle

    In biology, a biological life cycle (or just life cycle when the biological context is clear) is a series of stages of the life of an organism, that begins as a zygote, often in an egg, and concludes as an adult that reproduces, producing an offspring in the form of a new zygote which then itself goes through the same series of stages, the ...

  6. Biogeochemical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogeochemical_cycle

    There is also evidence for shifts in the production of key intermediary volatile products, some of which have marked greenhouse effects (e.g., N 2 O and CH 4, reviewed by Breitburg in 2018, [15] due to the increase in global temperature, ocean stratification and deoxygenation, driving as much as 25 to 50% of nitrogen loss from the ocean to the ...

  7. Tachycines asynamorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycines_asynamorus

    In English-speaking countries it is known as the greenhouse camel cricket [1] or greenhouse stone cricket [2] for its propensity for living in greenhouses. [3] It was first described in 1902 by Russian entomologist Nicolai Adelung [ ru ] [ 4 ] on the basis of specimens caught in the palm houses of St. Petersburg . [ 5 ]

  8. Floriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floriculture

    Floriculture crops have a high value to humans, so the cost of an expensive production system - greenhouses, [7] [8] [9] automated environmental control, automated irrigation and fertilization, robotic seed, transplant and container handling, supplemental photosynthetic lighting - is necessary to produce these plants efficiently for the world ...

  9. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

    [2] The term lighting control system refers to an intelligent networked system of devices related to lighting control. These devices may include relays, occupancy sensors, photocells, light control switches or touchscreens, and signals from other building systems (such as fire alarm or HVAC). Adjustment of the system occurs both at device ...
