Biological thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations and the principles of thermodynamics as they apply to biological systems. It explores how living organisms convert energy from their environments into forms that can be used for work, growth, and maintenance of life processes, and it helps to understand the energetics of biochemical reactions, cellular processes, and physiological functions.
