Cyanide Resistant Respiration and its Significance

Let us make an in-depth study of the cyanide resistant respiration and physiological significance of cyanide resistant respiration. The flow of electrons in the usual mitochondrial electron transport chain (in both animals and plants) during aerobic respiration is blocked by the presence of cyanides which inhibit the activity of cytochrome oxidase. This type of respiration is there­fore, known as cyanide [...]

How to Determine the Value of Respiratory Quotient ? | Plants

The below mentioned article will guide you about how to determine the value of respiratory quotient by using Ganong’s Respirometer. The apparatus: Ganong's Respirometer (Fig. 16.20) consists of a glass-bulb connected with a graduated glass tube. The neck of the bulb bears a hole. The lower part of the glass stopper which fits in the neck of bulb also bears [...]
