The process human cells use to generate ATP is called cellular respiration. It results in the creation of 36 to 38 ATP per molecule of glucose. It consists of a series of stages, beginning in the cell cytoplasm and moving to the mitochondria, the "power plants" of eukaryotic cells. The t...
In prokaryotic cells, the number of ATP generated from one glucose molecule is ___(a)36(b)38(c)34(d)32. Ans: Hint: in the bacterial cell, since there are no mitochondria, the whole process of respiration occurs within the cytoplasm so no ATP is ...
ATP is the energy currency of the cell. The energy derived from cellular respiration is stored as bond energy of the third phosphate bond in ATP. It is used for energy requiring metabolic reactions and cellular activities such as muscle contraction....
Under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate and NADH made by glycolysis remain in the cytosol. There, pyruvate is converted into products that are excreted from the cell: lactate in muscle cells, for example, or ethanol and CO2in the yeast cells used in brewing and breadmaking.#When inadequate ox...
(psaA, B, C, I, J), and six genes responsible for ATP synthesis and the electron transport chain (atpA, B, E, F, H, I). Notably, thepsbL gene is not found in the plastome. Similarly, 17 protein-coding genes contained introns, of which three genes (clpP,rps12,ycf3) comprised...

To enable lentiviral-based CRISPRi perturbations in unexpanded primary CD4+ T cells, we tested a panel of dCas9-KRAB lentiviral constructs targeting the TSS of four cell surface receptors: CD4, CD81, BST2, and ATP1B3. We designed dCas9 constructs using two KRAB repressor domains (KOX1 or...
Prominin-1 (CD133) is a cholesterol-binding membrane glycoprotein selectively associated with highly curved and prominent membrane structures. It is widely recognized as an antigenic marker of stem cells and cancer stem cells and is frequently used to is
The storage polysaccharide aids survival under nutrient-poor conditions of the pathogen Vibrio cholerae and contributes to its pathogenesis6. In cyanobacteria, glycogen is pivotal to the viability and resuscitation of dormant, chlorotic cells that are formed under nitrogen starvation and is involved in ...
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) have pivotal roles in life processes. The studies showed that aberrant PPIs are associated with various diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, targeting PPIs is a direction in treating diseases and an essential strate...
