Cells make energy by plucking electrons from glucose molecules in the presence of oxygen in a process called cellular respiration. The next few sections will answer the question, What is cellular respiration and what are the electron carriers in cellular respiration doing?
Electricity is a movement of charge, and charge carriers are called electrons. If electrons jump from one object to another, such as running a hand over the carpet, the electricity is called static. If the charge carriers flow through a single medium, such as a wire, the electricity is cal...
There are two basic types (or regions) of ER: the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER, or simply, rER) and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER, or simply, sER). The rER bears many ribosomes on its outer surface giving it a rough appearance as seen in electron micrographs; henc...
For fermentative organisms, however, ATP is generated through substrate-level phosphorylation and oxidation of electron donors coupled to the reduction of electron carriers like Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.* In this process (fermentation) ATP can also be generated through other processes such...

Example 3: In a classic nuclear physics experiment, an alpha particle was accelerated toward a gold nucleus. If the energy of the alpha particle was 5 MeV (Mega-electronvolts), how close to the gold nucleus could it come before being deflected? (An alpha particle has a charge of ...
Electrons obtained from these sources are then transported through various electron carriers before protons are pumped through the membrane in order to produce a proton gradient. The gradient is then used by the enzyme ATP synthase to generate ATP. ...
Electronics is the branch of physics (the science of matter and energy) that deals with the flow of electrons and other carriers of electric charge. This flow of electric charge is known as electric current, and a closed path through which current travels is called an electric circuit. ...
We're going to say the driving force of Catabolism is the oxidation of molecules in order to release energy. We're going to say this is accomplished by Coenzymes cycling between their oxidized and reduced forms. Now, here we're going to say the reduced forms act as e...
