Electron Transport System or Respiratory Chain: The hydrogen and electron transport system comprise many hydrogen and electron acceptors (Fig. 17-6). In fact oxidation reduction reactions in a biological system involve hydrogen and electron acceptors. Both hydrogen and electrons are passed from one acceptor to another. Thus, there are intermediate and final hydrogen acceptors. The final hydrogen acceptor is molecular oxygen. [...]
The following points highlight the top thirteen factors influencing the respiratory rate. The factors are: 1. Type and Age of Plant Tissue 2. State of Respiring Protoplasm 3. Temperature 4. Hydration of Tissues 5. Light 6. Oxygen 7. Carbon Dioxide 8. Inorganic Salts 9. Mechanical Stimulation 10. Wounding as a Respiration Stimulator 11. Cyanide-resistant Respiration and Others. Factors Influencing Respiratory [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Determination of ΔG°’ for Standard Free Energy Change. Determination of Standard Free Energy of Hydrolysis of ATP: Hydrolysis of ATP takes place according to the equation From which it seems possible to determine the equilibrium constant at pH 7.0 and calculate ΔG° from the equation ΔG°' = - 2.303 RT log K'eq [...]
