Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

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 ...

What we’re discovering is that mitochondrial support is not just about talents energy substrates, it’s also about keeping these vital organelles safe from the onslaught of environmental stressors we ...

Mitochondria age differently depending upon whether they’re located in the liver, heart, or kidney, scientists find in flies and mice. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

The paper, titled " Simultaneous aerobic and anaerobic respiration in hot spring chemolithotrophic bacteria," is published in ...

The circulatory system transports substances between the exchange surface and cells. It delivers oxygen and glucose to the tissues for respiration, which is the release of energy to cells.
