Biotransformation and Mineralization
Biotransformation is the biochemical process (metabolism) taking place in some life form that alters the form of an element.
Mineralization is the process by which an element gets deposited in solid form , concentrating and preventing its escape. Carbon mineralizes in the form of CaCO3 , MgCO3 ,etc
The biotransformation , followed mineralization reactions of glucose is essentially the biotransformation and mineralization of the carbon atoms in the glucose.
