a Aerobic respiration is a series of reactions that converts glucose to CO2 and gives off energy. It relies on free oxygen as the final acceptor for electrons and hydrogens and generates a relatively large amount of ATP. Fermentation enables anaerobic and facultative microbes to survive in ...
Respiration is an important mechanism for energy conservation in the presence of the electron acceptor oxygen. After the diauxic shift, respiration becomes the main ATP source for the cells. Accordingly, the abundance of the ATP synthases and cytochrome oxidases in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway...
Do humans use anaerobic respiration? Is the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway catabolic or anabolic? Does the heart run off of fat or glucose? How does exercise affect cellular respiration? When the body needs to exercise for longer than 90 seconds, it generates ATP by carrying out: a. lactic acid ferme...
Anaerobic bioremediation is a relevant process in the management of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons. Recently, interspecies electron transfer processes mediated by conductive minerals or particles have been proposed as mechanisms through which microbial species within a community share reducing equi...
In contrast, at night, oxygen is quickly consumed by respiration of heterotrophic bacteria and cyanobacteria, which reduce oxygen levels to near anaerobic levels. Dioxygen (O2) serves not only as a terminal electron acceptor in respiration, but also as a substrate in many oxygenase-catalyzed ...
