Cytochromes are like tiny helpers inside our bodies that help move energy around so our cells can do their jobs. They do this by carrying electrons, which are like tiny bits of energy, from one place to another.

Cytochrome Function

Cytochromes are heme-containing proteins that play a crucial role in electron transport chains, facilitating the transfer of electrons within cells to enable processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis. They are essential for energy production in aerobic organisms and are involved in various biochemical pathways, including drug metabolism and detoxification in the liver.

Energy transfer is the process by which energy moves from one system or object to another, often changing form in the process. This fundamental concept is crucial for understanding various physical phenomena, from biological processes to mechanical systems and thermodynamics.
