Types of Respiration
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Types of Respiration Respiration is classified into two types as aerobic and anaerobic respiration (Figure 14.4) Aerobic Respiration Respiration occurring in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration. During aerobic respiration, food materials … [Read more...] about Types of Respiration
Redox Reactions
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Redox Reactions NAD+ + 2e- + 2H+ → NADH + H+ FAD + 2e- + 2H+ → FADH2 When NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide-oxidised form) and FAD (Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide) pick up electrons and one or two hydrogen ions (protons), they get reduced to NADH + H+ and … [Read more...] about Redox Reactions
Structure of ATP
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Structure of ATP Respiration is responsible for generation of ATP. The discovery of ATP was made by Karl Lohman (1929). ATP is a nucleotide consisting of a base-adenine, a pentose sugar-ribose and three phosphate groups. Out of three phosphate groups the last two … [Read more...] about Structure of ATP
Gaseous Exchange
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Gaseous Exchange The term respiration was coined by Pepys (1966). Respiration is a biological process in which oxidation of various food substances like carbohydrates, proteins and fats take place and as a result of this, energy is produced where O2 is taken in and … [Read more...] about Gaseous Exchange
