The tendency of acids and bases to donate or accept protons was described. In acid-base systems, one compound acts as the proton (H+) donor and the other as the proton acceptor, the donor being the acid and the acceptor the base. The two form a conjugate acid-base pair. In a similar manner, oxidizing and reducing agents function in pairs. In [...]
Some of the most important functions of mitochondria are as follows: 1. The Glyoxylate Cycle 2. Fatty Acid Oxidation 3. Fatty Acid Chain Elongation 4. Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase 5. Amphibolic and Anaplerotic Reactions. Mitochondria are generally described as the powerhouses of the cell, and as such most attention is directed to the processes that evolve energy, namely, the TCA [...]
Some of the main functions of Mitochondria are as follows: 1. Centre of respiration: Mitochondria are the respiratory centres, of cell. This view was postulated by Kingsbury (1912). They store energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is released during glycolysis, Krebs cycle and electron transport mechanism of cell respiration. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, [...]
