Photosynthetic machinery transforms light energy into other forms so that it can be used for millions of years. It is similar to the process of photosynthesis that plants use.
Sulfonamide. In this biosynthetic pathway, dihydrofolic acid is enzymatically produced from PABA. This is blocked by sulfonamide.
feedback inhibition. Feedback inhibition is a regulatory mechanism where the end product of a biosynthetic pathway inhibits the activity of the enzyme catalyzing the initial step, thereby regulating the overall rate of the pathway.
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is produced in the cells of oranges using enzymes in the ascorbate biosynthetic pathway. Oranges have the genetic machinery to synthesize vitamin C from glucose in their cells. Stress and environmental conditions can affect the production of vitamin C in oranges.
The biosynthetic pathway of non-essential amino acids involves multiple steps where precursor molecules are enzymatically converted to synthesize the amino acid. This process generally begins with a precursor metabolite and involves a series of enzymatic reactions leading to the final amino acid product. Specific enzymes catalyze each step of the pathway, controlling the flow of intermediates and ensuring the production of the amino acid.
The metabolic machinery of the cell is located in the mitochondria.

Biosynthetic dressings are used on burns and other wounds. Another application is as a temporary dressing for skin autograft sites.
biosynthetic
The site of biosynthetic activities in a cell is primarily the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. These organelles are responsible for synthesizing and modifying proteins, lipids, and other molecules that are essential for cell function.
Sulfonamide. In this biosynthetic pathway, dihydrofolic acid is enzymatically produced from PABA. This is blocked by sulfonamide.

Machinery
These are composites of biological (often animal-derived) and synthetic materials such as polymers.
A biosynthetic pathway is a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that convert starting compounds into specific end products. It is a highly regulated process that involves multiple steps and intermediates to produce complex molecules essential for the organism's growth and survival.
The biosynthetic center of the cell is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is responsible for protein and lipid synthesis, as well as modification and transport of these molecules within the cell. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface that aid in protein synthesis.
Biosynthetic refers to the process by which living organisms, such as cells and microbes, create complex molecules and materials using biological pathways. This can involve the conversion of simpler molecules into more complex ones through enzymatic reactions.
