The below mentioned article provides a quick note on the Anaerobic Respiration. When oxygen is used for respiration, it is called aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration involves two phases: (i) External respiration: It is simply the intake of oxygen from the surrounding medium and giving out of carbon dioxide into the surrounding medium, (ii) Internal respiration: This involves three steps: (a) [...]
In this article we will discuss about the Process of Respiration in Human Beings. Mechanism of Breathing: It means the inflow (inspiration) and outflow (expiration) of air between atmosphere and the alveoli of the lungs. It is affected by the expansion and contraction of lungs. There are mainly two processes by which the lungs are expanded or contracted. (i) The [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between nitrate and sulfate respiration. Difference # Nitrate Respiration: Nitrate respiration is typically carried out by some facultatively anaerobic bacteria, like Paracoccus denitrificans, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. stutzeri, Ps. aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, B. licheniformis, Thiobacillus denitrificans etc. All of them can also grow aerobically carrying out normal aerobic respiration, but they possess [...]
