Pentose Phosphate Pathway
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Pentose Phosphate Pathway During respiration breakdown of glucose in cytosol occurs both by glycolysis (about 2/3) as well as by oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (about 1/3). Pentose phosphate pathway was described by Warburg, Dickens and Lipmann (1938). Hence, … [Read more...] about Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Anaerobic Respiration
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Anaerobic Respiration Fermentation Some organisms can respire in the absence of oxygen. This process is called fermentation or anaerobic respiration (Figure 14.12). There are three types of fermentation: Alcoholic Fermentation Lactic Acid Fermentation … [Read more...] about Anaerobic Respiration
Respiratory Quotient
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Respiratory Quotient The ratio of volume of carbon dioxide given out and volume of oxygen taken in during respiration is called Respiratory Quotient or Respiratory ratio. RQ value depends upon respiratory substrates and their oxidation. 1. The respiratory … [Read more...] about Respiratory Quotient
