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 Biosynthetic Pathway of Gluconeogenesis. Biosynthetic Pathway from Pyruvate to Glucose: Starting from glucose and ending with pyruvate, there are ten reaction steps in glycolysis. In gluconeogenesis direction, most of the reaction steps in the reverse sequence from pyruvate to glucose are catalysed by the enzymes of the glycolytic sequence, and thus proceed [...]
