Exploring Quantum Mechanics in Biology

The chapter delves into the role of Quantum Mechanics in understanding biology, focusing on electron transport chains as an example. It explains how electrons sliding down energy gradients in these chains lead to energy release and storage for the body's use. The discussion transitions into the quantum behavior of electrons, emphasizing their ability to quantum tunnel through energy barriers, crucial for biological processes like the electron transport chain.
