In biochemistry|lang=en terms the difference between biosynthesis and ferrochelatase
is that biosynthesis is (biochemistry) the synthesis of organic compounds within a living organism, especially the synthesis of large compounds from small ones while ferrochelatase is (biochemistry) an enzyme, localized to the mitochondrion, that catalyses the terminal (eighth) step in the biosynthesis of heme, converting protoporphyrin ix into heme.
