Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

Cellular respiration is a very efficient process through which a lot of energy is generated from a few sugar molecules and oxygen. However, up to two percent of the oxygen used in this process is ...

In my younger years I had maintained a body mass index (BMI) in the category of “normal weight†(in the lower range) without being conscious of my diet and without any help from so-called diet or ...

Many cells can use oxygen or nutrients to generate fuel, and the process is similar in many organisms that use an electron transport chain. But scientists have found that in a tiny organism, things ...

IN “his Croonian Lecture on the “Mechanisms of Cellular Respiration” delivered to the Royal Society on December 13, Prof. D. Keilin, Quick professor of biology and director of the Molteno Institute in ...

Cellular respiration refers to the breakdown of glucose and other respiratory substrates to make energy carrying molecules called ATP. Test your understanding of this process now.

Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food and this takes place inside the cells of the body. The process of respiration involves taking in oxygen (of air) into cells, using it for ...

Oxygen-consuming organisms obtain energy through cellular respiration, which is the transformation of carbohydrates and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water. This process also produces toxic oxygen ...
